I am cleaning up the enclosed trailer I bought it has a few loose rivets and a few missing. Easy enough to fix replaced a few already. I was looking at the overlapped seams and thinking about welding them closed. Is there a reason I would not want to do this? I think it was not done from the factory because it was not necessary. The rivets hold and that is all that is needed. Or do the seems allow for some flex so the metal does not buckle? This would be using a 135 amp MIG welder with Argon. I am going to see if I can get a bottle to use for a Weekend I don't want to keep it. I have a Argon CO2 bottle that I normally use for welding up fenders.
