Default Gas Welding aluminum - tinmam

Go to http://www.tinmantech.com

They have all the info, and supplies, for gas welding aluminum.


I was wondering when somebody was going to post this URL.

The "sharp flame point" is a carbonizing flame(?)
And aluminum welds need the extra carbon.

One tip (I think from Bud Davisson?) was to place a wooden
match stick on the weld line and just weld thru it...
Haven't tried that one - but ?

The metals need to be absolutely clean. Tinman recommends a
stainless steel brush that is not used for anything else -
ever.

and all the rest...
