I am not yet gas welding aluminum.
Kent had 4 or 5 holes in that piece about 2 feet long. Is that common to burn up the part like that? In the discussions that have been on here I expected the work or process to be a lot different.
When the surprise guy, Barton, was tacking he did not burn out at all. Of course we did not see the tacking that Kent did. Did Kent start that weld too? Or just pick up where someone else left off?
I've always heard that Kent was very good at that type of stuff. I'm surprised because he sure seemed capable when he filled in the holes.
Edit: I just went and watched the Sollis at Panelcraft video and he did a beautiful weld, no burnthroughs at all. About 4 feet long

also a guy named Sean Pelletier; again a good looking weld with no burnouts
