    I've never had any luck with the cans yet - lots of holes though!

    trick with super thin is stay on the filler and burn the filler into the can and move very fast

    I have seen some guys use the welded together cans almost like business cards. When they go around to different shops they drop them off with there resume.

    never seen that done but it gets fun and competitive in the shop to see who can do it with no burn thru 0.0045 alum is thin or to weld up a can cut in half
