Welding Tips and Tricks

As I'm new to this site and it's huge, I figured I'd just ask if there's anywhere on this site that deals with welding bronze. I'm a sculptor with a backyard foundry but I max out at 25 lbs. If I want to go bigger I have to weld different parts together and I've found out the hard way that gas welding just doesn't cut it. Anyone got any advice?
Thanks in advance,

i tig weld bronze where i work. we use these rods called ampco-trode. they are red in color and look like copper. i am not 100% positive, but i think harris makes them. i thought i would toss this in there if the silicon bronze rods don't match the color of your alloy you would have another option to try. i have used both AC and DC. with AC u get a nice cleaning action and DC you get best dig. hope i was some help here.
