    I have a Lincoln Pro Tig 185 also. I am just starting to get "better" at welding aluminum. I am getting better at reading the puddle and keeping my hands coordinated but I still need some seat time to get the stack of dimes consistantly.
    Here are a couple of welds I did today on my radiator shroud for the van. I was using a 1/16 pure tungsten electrode, a gas lens with a #8 cup and had the max amperage set at 90 with the foot control running at about 75%. I set the pulse at 1 per second and had the frequency set to "AUTO".



    i still have a long way to go and fillet welds still kick my ass...
