If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Stick welding is generally better for thicker metal because if a stick weld looks "right" it has penetrated the metal and stuck it together. It is perfectly possible, and very common, for amateurs to produce a nice looking mig weld that has only stuck the surface of the metal, and have the weld fracture.
Plenty of info on the net from some good welding sites.
TIG welding is considered easier, and suitable for all applications, especially thin body panels, but we can't afford a TIG welder that works properly so we buy mig welders.
I can't stick weld for toffee, but I can gas weld properly, and stick metal together with a mig long enough for it to pass an MOT :blink:

Thanks, ive read a bit about them and yes it does seem to be hard to tell if it just looks good or is infact a good "weld" with the migs.
Mig looks easier, probably not
Arc is CHEAP
hmm.
