Chinese tourist reassure me with all my purchases so BULLISH it is <| sep |> Have someone else do it . Kabar has an excellent suggestion , you ' ll probably get it done for free at a college . There ' s nothing to be apprehensive about , MIG is just point and shoot pretty much , any welding student should be able to hook you up with something workable . There ' s nothing that can go wrong imo , put a blanket to protect the paint , grindsand off the paint on the area to be welded , and disconnect the battery like he said . If it doesn ' t come out perfect , you can always cut it out and weld some more . It ' s welding , you can add or subtract metal . Nothing to worry about . <| sep |> I hurt people , people I care about . What I did was not a great thing . It was the exact opposite of great .
