AL is hard to weld because it has a narrow band between solid and weldable and dripping hole, and it's hard to see when you have a puddle started to weld on from.


exactly. With steel, you can see the puddle and back off if it gets too hot. With alum, the only way you can see the puddle and what is molten is the way the surface of the alum looks. Ive had QUITE A FEW gaping holes in my alum parts.

I cheap with a nylon sleeve, in the whip, and a broomstick zip tied up along the whip cable.

I've excavated the wad of AL wire from the cable once, and for me, a spool gun will be a necessity. AL wire has erectile disfunction, aka a case of the bendo


Yep. Alum wire is limp. Like trying to push a rope.
