hahaha, what weld rod did you use, 4043? did you prep the joints with a bevel, or just a straight butt-weld between the joints? TIG weld? I can't do TIG welds myself, I can only do MIG welds

use smaller filler rods and i'll see whati can do to fund one of ur new mods

i believe is 4043 LOL i have no idea they only sell one type of aluminum filler rod on island.... straight up butt weld bro =] no need for the bevel... i used only 1/8 thick aluminum.... my tig penetrated it with ease i only bevel when i usually weld 1/4 and thicker aluminum which im super used to welding... making the tank was like shooting in the dark... i knew only half what i was doing hahahahahahh.... and yes tig weld.... i love how much control you have on the tig... you can adjust the heat and everything... i dont really use mig for aluminum i usually end up with crappy welds with a crap load of phorosity ahahahah i think im just doing it wrong with the mig though...


i just finished using a small filler rod all i can say is i should used a stupid smaller rod hahahahahah i welding a exhaust for an rc car.... the welds are tiny lol
