Re: Galvanized or Satin Coating Sheet Metal TIG

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!

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...
