Reply:Looks good.  I am curious when you would need to or be required to run downhill on thick stuff?  Anybody got an answer???I run downhill only on thins stuff like 1/16".
Reply:i think, sch. 40 and below, for downhill.
Reply:Looks pretty good. Someday, I'll get the stinger and try some stick with my tig machine.And then, after so much work...... you have it in your hand, and you look over to your side...... and the runner has run off. Leaving you holding the prize, wondering when the runner will return.
