No offense taken. My welder is capable of welding 24g 1/4 thick in a single pass. It's not a harbor freight welder. I may have been a tad bit sarcastic. I took 3 years of welding in school and then welded trailer beds for a few years. Did exhaust work part time for several years. Modified my own kayak trailer and can lay down a bead that looks like a roll of dimes.

I understand your high expectation and you may want to seek out a professional.
