Of course 12 is too dark. Somewhere between 7-9 is more the range for
average tig welding.
No, not "of course". I've never done any TIG welding. I was going on
advice that apparently wasn't accurate.
The only book I have on GTAW recommends a dark shade for aluminum work, at
least a #10. Ok... so it was too dark...
In an unfamiliar process, start safe, work back.

There were some pretty good guides available for download on the Miller
site last time I looked, and of course you can spend the $5 or so and
order the complete set of welding calculators (cardboard slide rule
type) they have which are great for finding starting settings for a
particular task.
