Use of this unit on thicker materials than recommended may
result in welds of poor quality. The welds may appear to be
fine, but may lack the fusion or bonding necessary to give a
strong weld. This is called "Cold Casting" or "cold lapping"
and is some what similar to a cold solder joint. Weld failure
may result.
