cut your patch to fit the hole with very little gap...i like a gap because the weld seems to penetrate a little better...get your self some copper to use for a backer..youll be amazed at how good it works...with the copper you can run the heat a little higher and have a flatter weld thatll need less grinding
ive used some of those welding magnets and panel clamps from eastwood to hold my patchs in place
also like stated above use a .023 ez grind wire...

Thats all good advice rite there , just make sure if you do have to change over to .023 wire you check your wire feed Roll and make sure to use the rite groove in the feed roll for the gauge wire you set up in the welder , the roll is usualy marked for what gauge each groove will handle.
