Hey Dave, you do much aluminum welding? I'm thinking of doing the frame for my deck on the boat project. I have a friends millermatic 130XP, it's set for steel, would it work with aluminum?


I'm not a welder but I play one on TV. (Actually I work for a mfg company that welds both steel and alum)

You will need to run straight Argon gas and probably find a place to rent you a spool gun. It is unlikely that alum will feed properly in the existing gun.

Or you could consider drilling holes and using buck rivets and silicone
