Do you use a Mig to tack most of your parts and what is your weapon of choice for filling in between the tacks?
I'm only asking because i use Mig for everything and i am wondering whether this is the correct way to do it especially when welding Panels.
The method depends upon the type of panel. If it’s a cumbersome hard to clamp panel or just a quick small panel I’ll tack in a few spots with the MIG to just hold it. Once it’s secure I’ll then go back and do more tacks with the TIG and then follow up with a full TIG pass.

However, there is certainly nothing wrong with using a MIG 100% if that’s what you have (that’s what I did for the longest time) I just prefer the TIG when possible due to its control and the nicer weld to work with afterwards.
