Some typo fixes and link additions for the canister.

Nattie98: Added the item boxes for the Arc welder and its Mk II varient and explaining the differences between a regular gas welder and a Arc Welder. along with some rearranging for better reading flow to accommodate these changes.

 ==Arc Welder==
-The Arc Welder uses a [[battery]] instead of gas to operate making it easier to refill, and it welds things more quickly, but it drains its [[battery]] faster than the other tools, and its more expensive to make. Its MK II version is more resistant to hot environments, thus really only being useful in hot atmospheres such as [[Worlds#Vulcan|Vulcan]] and [[Worlds#Venus|Venus]]. The MK II version is also about 7%-10% faster than the MK I.

-A [[Welding Torch]] is one of the [[Starting Gear| tools you start with]]. Used to weld [[sheets]] onto [[frames]], see [[Iron Frames]] for example.
+A [[Welder]] is one of the [[Starting Gear| tools you start with]]. Used to weld [[sheets]] onto [[frames]], see [[Iron Frames]] for example.
-Welding in an atmosphere will generate heat.
+When used, Welding Torches will generate toxic fumes, heat and a flame. Arc Welders generate heat but do not ignite flammable gases.
 <!--T:3-->
 A gas powered Welding Torch has a [[Canister]] with a [[Fuel]] mixture of 66% [[Volatiles|H<sub>2</sub>]] and 34% [[Oxygen|O<sub>2</sub>]] and unlike other devices, has a minimum fuel operating temp. More testing required to find the exact temp. It may appear on but not weld if the fuel is too cold.
