[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 286369, member: 5461"] I agree you should get a bottle of Argon. But with that said, when I got my new Millermatic I got it all set up with Argon and a spoolgun and started practicing on aluminum. It wasn't too hard. One time I was practicing and forgot to turn on the gas .... the welds looked terrible and were black and sooty, but they were welds and would most likely hold. My point is, you can always try it without the gas. Frankly, its a bad idea .... but what do you have to loose? If you blow a hole in your boat, it won't really make a difference. [/QUOTE]
