Reply:Nice job BC. I've tried a couple times and have trouble getting the 1/16 filler to melt. What size tungsten you use?

Reply:Have you tried cutting a can in half and welding it back together yet?
Reply:I had to do a few of those for one of my welding tests, I used a super small .040 tungsten and no more than 50 amps, but I tried the 4943 filler, it almost felt like cheating cause it flows so nice.BC, your cans look better than mine.
