Yup. A Miller Thunderbolt XL 225/150 . Love it. Would appreciate a better dial/indicator for having a more precise indication of the amperage but, still love it. I bought some SODEL 31 (1/16) for the galvanized. I will let you know!
Thanks again!

Re: Galvanized or Satin Coating Sheet Metal TIG
My bad. I was lost; naturally it was a rod for TIG. Sorry #$%$#@ ! My beast is a Diversion 180 (Miller) so I can't change the polarity. Last night, I tried 6013; nightmare... Than decided to go with a 1/8 E7018 (i know, just to fat a rod but the only one I had!). Well... it was one of the best resul...

Re: Galvanized or Satin Coating Sheet Metal TIG
Great info! So I suppose that I will let go the TIG for my old standard rod machine. Will it need as much cleaning or can I go direct (I know; not the best but faster...). If I understand well, i should buy 1/16 E7018. Can you confirm?
Cheers.

Re: Galvanized or Satin Coating Sheet Metal TIG
I thank you both for the info. As soon as I can, I will try both tricks. But none of you have talked about the rods I should use. Or should I only try to melt it down with nothing? I have some gas lenses to...
