--Spent yesterday welding up a tray that will hold 3: 5 gallon propane bottles on the roof of a hearse (bwahaha). The final bit was to weld expanded metal to the framework, something I've had dreadful luck doing successfully in the past. But I think I got it right! Gotta say it's easier with the Maxstar than it was with the Econotig, heh. I've made the welds in pairs, every 6" or so, on the theory that one may fail under extreme conditions but another tack next to it may be sufficient reinforcement.
