    Gotta find an expert on that stuff. Welding aluminum is an Art. The way the metal bubbles under the Tig arc requires skill and experience to make it look pretty and be done properly.

    Can you tell that I have welding aluminum before.. ;-)

    He must be a Master Welder!!!

    Wish I could weld with aluminum more. I haven't done it since I was in school learning to weld. I can't afford a good tig welder. So I mig everything..
