Liquid white-out works a treat to stop braze flowing where you don't want it to be.

Not sure what it relates to in the US, but I got a price yesterday for a Size D bottle, (10L) the smallest, $147, inc one years rental.

Just a little dice, 50x50mm squares, tacked up. Will be closed up with tig once I'm a lot better at it.

Oh dear. I can imagine that would be quite the surprise.

Welcome to the forum.

Haha. These are the courses that we do. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160201/6ccd209cf4ebbfc7e45ac9d02ae7afd9.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160201/8e8672225fd56120964ef347660a9389.jpg I would have loved to do the SS option, but unfortunately we weren't able to choose. Yea NZ is a beautif...

Just noticed your name, have a friend on a distilling forum from Tokaroa. Student here myself with only a couple months left to go in my course here in Canada. Looked at your course and seems very similar. Best advice from on student to another: put the time in behind the stick. If you get frustrat...

Nice. Cool vid. And neat welder.

Hey there. Are there any kiwi Welders I the Waikato/BOP region that have, or know of a cheap TIG setup for sale? I need the machine and gas bottle.
Thanks

I'd start off with a MIG at home. Fairly easy to master as opposed to the others.
As for welding without gas, it can be done with MIG using a flux core wire.

Have a look at your local hard ware/renovation store. You should be able to get different grades of 3M scotch brite. I used to work for an anodising company and to get the Ali parts to shine we would go over them good with three grits in order. Red, green, white. Of course your colours may vary.

This is what I would expect if I was paying for a TIG welded exhaust

Sadly, it sounds like he's taking out of his bum bum.
The mere fact that you had to ask if it was a good weld, should be an indication that it's not.

Out of curiosity, what did you pay for that?

Oh wow. I don't have much experience with TIG, but if I had paid for that to be done. Id be asking for my money back.

Not sure if it's just me, but none of the pics seem to be showing.

Was wondering if there were any other kiwis on here
Nice place Rotorua. I'll actually be over there this Wednesday. Lol

Thanks. Good luck on your course too.
This is the one I am doing.
