thank you thank you

like it sticks to the pool and i have a hard time feeding it in easy...any ideas?

when you feed the rod forward using both these methods, are you actually dipping into the pool, or are these methods just to gain more wire infront of youre hand so it doesnt get too close to the heat/torch? Thanks.

i would prefer victor's also

Could you recommend a tip for heating but one without a massive flame?

That is interesting. I have a speculation as to why this post is a cut and paste with "my friend" added, but I won't share it as I won't spoon-feed a possible explanation. I'll wait to see niftyweld's explanation, assuming he offers one. Steve S what is the correct working pressure for ox...

Third take the gas supply hose and attach it to a regulator on a bottle of Argon.

Hey Chuck , where did you get your wp -20f at? on their site seems to be out of stock if you were referring welding city. I went from: http://www.weldingcity.com/weldcraft-welder-parts.html into http://www.weldingcity.com/tig-torch-parts/torch-head-bodies/torch-wp-20-series/ In the description poste...

It’s all basically the same, copper plus silicon or aluminum to lower the melting point and help it wet. The technique is to use the tig torch to just almost melt the base metal but not quite. The arc is directed on the filler rod and it wets out and makes the weld like flowing butter.Some header co...

How to use tungsten to touch the weld pool without causing so much of contamination. Can this problem be resolved by moving the torch farther or closer from the work piece? Well, I know touching the filler metal to the tungsten can be a source of contamination, but is there no clear solution to fix ...

YES I AGREE SO MUCH!

Great tip Steve!
