just spent $218 to buy a #2 tank of argon (tank + gas) because I need to weld a $1 aluminum part that the factory won't sell me, so I can repair a $120 jerry can

3/ I wouldn't know - I buy the largest tank that firms will sell. (#2 / 40 ft^3 tank is pretty small, actually!)https://twitter.com/SWolczyk/status/1504556607702765570 …

6/ First time I've ever tried ...and I need the argon to get started. I've got a consumer grade 220V MIG machine (Hobart Handler 175). Manual says "go for it, just swap the tank to argon". ...we'll see.https://twitter.com/paleonormie/status/1504558727243907080 …

7/ I know that some folks use spool guns. And I understand why. But (a) manual says it will work (b) I already test fed my wire through the gun. Yes, it's soft ... but it works.https://twitter.com/SomeWelder/status/1504562697463083010 …
