Kerry, you realy should try welding ally with gas you should find it a lot quicker that using tig. If you set up your torch the way I show on my DVD you should find it very controlable. Be prepared to move a lot quicker though. I know that using a large tip seems like it would make it harder but it realy is the correct way to weld aluminium. If you can weld with tig you can weld with gas its the same technique you just have to move faster. but this meens you get the job done faster. you dont even have to grind the weld if you get good at it. I know that many coachbuilders never gring the weld they just dress it out. (Joe Stafford for example( www.panel-craft.com ).
