I believe 2 boxes of sour patch kids and a lol suprise will get you a few hours haha! I mainly do arc welding at work but if you can do that especially in the environment I do (shitty steel mills) you most definitely can mig weld. Only time I mig on the job is if I'm in Chicago working on a highrise doing moment connections which inspectors can be very picky... However when I first started I wasn't that good. Hopefully get a Tig setup soon so I can weld chromoly and teach her that!
