[TheForge] argon vs argoshield for tig

[Ray Miller]

What is argoshield? If that is 75/25 argon/CO2, then no, you don't want 
to use it for TIG. You will get better results with
75/25 than straight argon on MIG. But 75/25 on TIG is not recommended. 
An alternate for thin guage MIG is straight CO2, and then you could use 
it for your beer tap as well........;-)
