Can someone give me a good Victor tip size as a starting point for .063"? I have some of Tinmans flux. Only thing I need is a bottle of spring water.
Do you have one of Kent's TM2000 gas welding lenses? There's nothing like it for seeing your puddle clearly, especially when gas welding aluminum. jmho.
