Welding alu with stick welder?
« on: August 02, 2010, 08:08:01 AM »
Looking at this welder here:

I know there are rods for stick welding aluminum, I'm wondering if it's worth trying...

It is a little tricky to get, but it is doable. My biggest hint: Move fast.

in case you didnt know, the 'ac'  in ac/dc arc welder does not mean it can do aluminum. the ac setting is for steel and apparently makes it easier to weld with difficult rods.

I think all cop cars need to have turbo. nbspnbsp Then they would understand the necessity of putting your foot down and how uncontrollable the urge is to fucking rail on that shit.
