Still waiting on #2 tip and I will try again. The thinnest wire I have is 1/16. Do you flux the wire also?

This was just a practice panel. My plan is to weld half the seam with TIG and then flux and weld the other half with gas. Then grind down the welds and do some more shaping & planishing on the panel and see wish one cracks first. Not going to using any back gas on the TIG as I don't see that as practical on body shapes.


I can see this oxy aluminum welding being handy as a portable solution also. I have a victor portable oxy set. Its about 600 pounds lighter than my synchrowave.
