What is a good backing plate to

be easier, but only a spool gun. 1/4" steel plate? Stainless plate?
I like copper.

I thought about that, but since this is 50xx aluminum for corrosion
protection, I was thinking that would add copper to the weld.
I recall Ernie noting not to use copper to back aluminum for that
reason.
