[TheForge] MIG Welders

[Woolley]

Greetings,

I've welded on pressure vessels, tanks, etc. still do.  We are talking 
about a guy welding fillets in his garage.  IMHO argon is sufficient for 
this application.  If you want to spend extra money on gas go right 
ahead.  Airgas will be pleased.  Personally I'd stick weld it. My 2 cents.
