[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 500211, member: 16767"] Nice work there…thanks for sharing. I’m glad you mentioned using an old sign, that way when I looked at the picture I knew what that honeycomb looking pattern is on it. It reminds me of my old Coast Guard Buoy Tender days, because the 3M retro tape we used on buoys & day-boards has that same honeycomb pattern. I just bought a TIG to work my MVT-1751. I considered a spool gun for my MIG, but I went with the TIG. How much did it cost for a spool gun for the MIG? I’m new a welding aluminum, and one thing I have learned is keep it clean. Use acetone to wipe everything down before running a bead, it will weld much better when it’s super clean. [/QUOTE]
