On my cheapo sip migmate the captive nut in the casing for holding the lid on has come loose - I would weld it back on, but is it ok to weld the case of the welder using the welder itself or would I damage it? (I'm thinking that the mig case is earthed, so running the electrically isolated dc welding current across it would be fine, but would like to check before I fry it!).
