Wich gas should be used...
Is the copper like stainless that you don't need to add if there is enough material? or doesn't it flow very well??
the article says its better to add 70/30rodd...
where do i buy that rod?
I have welded my copper rad just with electronics / plumbing stuff just the A-Team way (with oxigen and propane)
Engine hasn't run yet, no water is comeing out..saying that dunno about the force it can handle..
Tks

You should use argon for all tig work anyway.
You should be able to get the rod from any good welding supplier

Contrary to the general consensus, I come here to help  So a lookie HERE
might just help you out a bit, oh & happy new year and im awaiting a call on when the welders have landed in the UK, as i know everyone will be
getting agitated to get their welders now xmas & new year is out of the way.
I'm waiting the immortal post saying im ripping everyone off and that no-one will get a welder at all......
You`ve prolly got them already. Then next week you`ll tell everyone that there is a coo in China but you having farming experience and have sorted
it. Then because you have negotiated a health and safety deal for Immigrant Cockle pickers the Chinese Govt have agreed to release the welders from
quarantine but it will be an extra £50 plus vat on every machine
