[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 186941, member: 1523"] Buggest thing for spooling aluminum is patience. I run .030" on the boat and it'll do about anything a steel wire will, push or pull, spot or fill welding. It's harder because the aluminum doesn't give you much warning before things melt through. I've been running .035" on an aluminum trailer I'm fixing and it's night and day difference is speed and quality vs. the .030". I'm running an Miller 210 and 30335 spoolgun. I also have a Miller 350Tig but suck at it. Jamie [/QUOTE]
