What size spot weld cutter do you use? What size hole do you drill in a new repro panel to give a look of spot welds when filled with the mig?




I use 3/8 cutters mostly, as I find the smaller ones don't separate as clean. The larger cutters don't last more than a handfull of welds. Best ones are the cheapies on ebay from jim at kestors services, eBay Member: ksjimmyk, they last just as long as my $40 zebra bits...but cost next to nothing.. and he sharpens them when they are worn. Size the new hole according to the size of weld you want to create, it takes practice to get a plug to look like a spot, most guys will just grind them flush and use an eraser in the wet primer to simulate a spot weld. Works great! I cheat.. I use a spot welder to recreate spot welds!
