[QUOTE="twentyfootdaredevil, post: 693793, member: 1649"] It would be easier on you to use 80/20 or 90/10. Straight Argon isn't the best choice for MIG. It will always look like a cold weld. You TIG weld with straight Argon. I should add that ALOT of people mig weld with pure argon so, it's not a bad choice. It gives a concentrated heat zone and that is good except the opportunity is better for gas entrapment in the weld and porosity. A helium mix will mitigate those problems as long as you do you job.
