Finally!!!! I actually got sunburned Sat.
Yay hooo! Hey anyone have a decent cheap idea of what I can buy instead of speedy dry? Clay cat litter?
Yep - it's the exact same stuff. Cheapest in house brand Wal-Mart has.

Awesome. Thanks for the tip. I tend to spray over my garbage pail and it’s getting too warm to have the lid open.
Next up is a parts washer... I’ve been pondering making a second mud sink from pallets and a used sink for me (I made my son one which he loves). It’s a good thing I love him more than the truck or I’d have no guilt using it when he wasn’t home.

One of my many awesome long distance male Toyota loving friends, @CaptClose, sent it to me from the meet last year.

Bought myself a late bday present. Not super powerful but will be plug and play in my garage. 
Nothing wrong with that. Flux core is a challenge on thin steel (body work) but I don't think that's your objective. Perfectly good for medium weight work. Get some wire and scrap steel and start practicing! If you have Harbor Freight I have found their wire and other supplies perfectly serviceable - although others may disagree.
If you're going to try things as thick as 3/16" you're going to want to try to find a 20A circuit someone around the house.

Whoa!
What are you going to do with that?
Is that flux core only or did it come with a gas bottle?
Never mind. Looks like flux core only. Have fun with it!

Yeah only flux no gas. My garage is a 30 but my dryer plug is a 50 I believe. It’ll be sufficient for this newbie.

Yeah. flux core is going to throw some slag so prob not to good for body work but good for rough frame patches and floor patch. Also good for working outside in the wind.

There are plenty of boring youtube videos to watch to get some instruction. I found this guy entertaining and informative.

I know you are not TIG welding but still good info on pulling or pushing a bead etc.

I’ve watched a bunch but I’ll def watch more. Will have to get a mask ect. Going to pick it up now.
Your dryer is going to be 220v this is a 110v only welder. Need to do a little research there hopefully you have an electrician friend.
