    Local "welding" shop

    You can also use a coat hanger in a pinch for stick welding, I'd find a different local resource for advice....

The manual states Argon is the one for Aluminum, SS and mild steel. I will be practicing on mild steel and SS for right now, any help on the right gas would be appreciated....
    Like the "Manual" says, 100% argon is the gas you want to use for tig on SS, MS & aluminum.
