[QUOTE="sledneck, post: 646079, member: 248"] Leave the monster cup for stainless and mild steel. They don't work that great for alum. Looks like that other gas lens was a 6 or 7 just run that for your aluminum work and run 12-15 cfh unless someone else is paying for your argon. As a few others posted you can not get aluminum clean enough. Be patient and wait for the puddle to wet if you start trying to add filler rod before you get a nice puddle on both sides it usually just blows up and contaminates your work. I use a scotch brite pad to clean my filler rod before I start sometimes I think it works better than acetone and others I don't know if there is a difference. Guess it just depends on what is in front of you. [/QUOTE]
