Good evening Mike, I have been having terrible time for this week with aluminium TIG welding! Most of my try is on thin sheet like 1.0mm to 1.5mm (#19 to #16 gauge). I was able to do this thickness last month but suddenly had difficulty, did not know why? Cleaned the surfaces of parent metals and filler with acetone and brushed with stainless brush before job. But finally found the reason after reading a basic text it says 'Used clean gloves'. LOL! Gloves were contaminated! Yesterday gave them a good wash and today these clean gloves did helped me a lot!

When I was welding aluminum fans for a vacuum system on a corn planter, I would assemble the part, clamp in fixture then spray brake cleaner on the part and let evaporate.
Don’t touch again till done
Yes touching with dirty gloves is no no.

Good Morning. No snow, no flooding, temp above freezing. Things are looking up.

I wish I could say the same. Will be hovering right around the freezing mark for the next 4 days and we are expected to be hit by two weather systems. It is expected that between now and Tuesday we will double our winter precipitation amounts. The big unknown is how much will be rain and how much will be snow. Those damn late season "Colorado Low" systems can be very unpredictable.

A Happy Birthday shout out to Nick @nickw , have yourself a great day! :)
Thanks to everyone. Yah I know it, dust blows out my ass not my nose and ears. I made a choice years ago to be good looking instead of staying young. Obviously I was the only one who took this option
