You were talking about Geoff not using offcuts of the parent metal..... Does he prefer proprietary Brands..... 1100 or 4030 ?.

Geoff does use an off cut, just he rarely needs to dip it, as far as I could tell he only used it for the tacks.
Proper autogenious welding.

Yes Matt, I am a fan of gas welding thin aluminium 1-2mm. Getting the flux cleaned off fully is very important though. I use a Meco Midget torch from Kent.
i do have TIG but as stated the gas weld is much softer and easier to wheel/planish.

With the gas going nicely on the alloy, there is no bother from an open door or window inviting nice breezes into the shop!
My tiggy gets SO fussy with any little draught .... I've welded alloy water pipe in the fields, with my hat blowing away ... and not a problem laying down Leak-Proof welds, time after time. A student gas welding his artwork: GS.5 copy.jpg P1110515 copy.jpg George is an outstanding student. He wanted to make his first car body a GT40, and it turned out really well. (new fab is a lot easier to weld than welding up old wrecks for primo restoration work ... according to me. ) I see more than a few frustrated tig-boys trying to make repairs on oily old aeroplanes .... . *** Torch welding is practical, and can be a very good appropriate technology. ***

Hi Kent, would you export your Gas welding goggles and Torch etc.
I believe John from CKL developments buys from your Company.

Hi Matt, Yes, we started selling overseas (approx. 17 countries) in 1996, after our website went up, a few years after we opened TinManTech.
