It's been awhile since I did aluminum, and I don't take enough pics so I just ran these. Need some bigger wire, had to push a lot of wire. Here they are, took them with my phone so there not the greatest. Far from my greatest but its been awhile since doing aluminum.

Wes917,

Looks great from here, too!

I see you do like I prefer to, keeping the penetration high and "cleaning" low (balance negative). That narrow band is "enough", and you know you put enough heat in the weld.

Yep I prefer more heat to more cleaning, just the way I like doing it
