Welding Aluminum with Oxy/Acet DOES NOT work due to the impuritys from
the enviornment entering the weld area. Tig or Mig are used
specifically for the reason that it has a shield of inert gas such as
Helium or Argon surronding the Stinger wich keeps impuritys out of the
weld area.

Wrong. Dead wrong. Bull****! Read the Alcoa textbook about
aluminum welding , and regard the craft of expert metalworkers in
custom aircraft and racecars before you embarrass yourself further.

I do try hard to be civil, but it sorely irritates me when one
offering credentials of credibility ( Hendrix Machine & Tool, Inc)
posts dead-wrong opinion-posing-as-fact that would misguide an
earnest poster asking for guidance.

So much for your credentials and credibility.


That is the very reason I have quit reading any posts on electricity.
There are even more of those "opinion-posing -as -fact" type posts.
It just gives me an ulcer. :-)
