Thread: Welding Headers

I used a MIG and shielding gas at the flange on mine and it worked fine. Since you asked though, I would imagine that Oxy Acetyline would work; but, I've never tried it. I prefer my MIG w/gas as it makes me look like I actually know what I'm doing .

If you don't have any luck w/oxy acetyline, I would suggest you look around your town and see if there is a place that rents equipment that might have a MIG (you'll want one with shielding gas not Flux Core (FCAW)) or TIG welder they'll rent to you. I think Home Depots even rent the MIG welders but I don't know if they have shielding gas or if they are FCAW. Anyway, Do all your welding prep, then when you are ready, go rent the welder and hit it all at once. That should keep the cost down.

BTW if you don't consider yourself a welder then I suggest you lean away from TIG. It's not as forgiving as MIG w/gas.

Lots O' Luck,
