Hi Craig, Welding aluminum with gas is about the same as using a TIG. With gas you will also need flux. Aluminum welding takes lots of practice.  I would suggest you pickup some stock that is thinner than what you will be using to build the tank and practice. Heat control is the road to success.

Tig is nice but the equipment to do it is expensive so I would have to pay to all my parts made.  With gas I have all the equipment and as I build I can make changes or totally redesign a part as necessary.  --- On Tue, 11/2/10, Robert Wood wrote: From: Robert Wood Subject: Re: KR> weld
