Dean,
I would not braze;
its twice the work and heat input.
A good mig weld is
not porous. A lot of welding mishap occurs due
to:
--corrosion or
scale on material or wire
- Water and/or
grease on material or wire
-dirty or leaking
pistol/hose
-wrong gas (should
be CO2 with 20% Agon 8 litres/minute)
I experienced with
welding the KSS that the half finished hull acts like a funnel. The created
airstream blows the gas away!.
Good luck,
Emile
