For those who arent familliar with gas terms,
He's talking about 95% argon and 5% co2...
Costs a little more but you end up with a much cleaner weld, plus it allows the weld to ''self clean''
Another beneifit is ''Gas quality'' is closer regulated...C-25 can be as much as 40% CO2...Ever notice the color of welds from tank to tank, and between company to company?
I use straight argon.

When I was doing a lot of welding at an old shop, they had a gas mixer. You could set the percentages between argon, co2 and helium. Made swapping over for aluminum real easy. I miss that thing........

I am going to let this out, because I know Fabr has the part in his hand, and there is a lesson here on how to take pictures to be posted on DTS or MBN for build logs.



I am about to start a build log, and I need a 4' x 8' banner to hang behind the work area where I will be taking pictures!
