@@PacificArcTigWelding The difference i enjoy is other channels will show how to correctly tig but on your channel we get to see tips and tricks how to ALSO make it beautiful! I have an artsy background with drawing and im a bit OCD so these videos really help me.

Your message of spreading kindness resonates throughout the world. A few weeks ago, I saw an old lady breaking down on the middle of a busy highway. The local sheriffs pushed her vehicle out of the intersection. I was able to get her back on the road by simply swapping some relays.

Dusty, your presentation has come so far! I like seeing these old videos that come up in my feed occasionally that show you to be an authentic person.

Its truly awesome to see how much control and confidence you have with that torch and each task you perform. The skill you have in your art is amazing. Thanks for sharing

Until I master perfection, I'll find these "how to fix" videos very helpful (for the rest of my life)

You handled filling in those holes like a pro,good control after all you are the professor.🤗

Haha thanks Garth. Although I’m just a dude sharing what I know:) Plenty I still have to learn! I’d rather be a student for life than the professor 😂🙏 But I seriously appreciate the comment. Very kind of you:) And I VERY much appreciate you checking out the new episode! Cheers my friend 🙏

Your torch hand is so steady and precise. I would have dipped several times either by getting in too close or by flooding the puddle with too much filler and not backing away. Out of all of the TIG welding channels I've watched yours has to be the best. Thank you for making these videos.

Interesting video Dusty. Have a great day.

Your videos are so instructional and straight to the point, no skating around a bunch of useless stuff to make the video longer, thank you!...

I would love to see a video of doing this same type of repair on thin aluminum, like 1/16 or 0.040". I trying to figure it out and it is giving me fits. It's just so easy to blow it out.

WOW that was awesome your control is amazing.....

🪙🪙💙🔥 Dude, I still love your content even the older stuff!

Awesome fix! As a quick add if your parts are going to be chemfilmed/ alodine or anodized the filler will be much more obvious. Paint or powder coat and it will totally disappear. I know your joking but its worth adding if your doing that on a customer peice its good to check with them. The downgraded strength from the heat affect zone could impact their final use.

You make it look so easy, thank you for an awesome video.

Good stuff! keep it up!

I run a TIG that is probably older than you. 1998. A Miller Econotig. Paid $800 for her and she is like new. Still learning to dial her in. An old Analog dial TIG...

Nice job, great teaching. Much appreciated.

Hi there, very interesting, thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍 I've got some holes in a car body panel I need to fill. It's only 1.2mm thick and was wondering if I could use the Brass trick which is where you clamp the panel to a block of brass then fill it all from one side as its pretty thin. I know this works with steel but not sure about aluminium 🤔 Kind regards Paul 🇬🇧

What did you have under the plate to keep the weld from sticking? I've filled holes with my MIG by placing a piece of brass underneath.

Where do you get a big chunk of aluminum plate like what you have on your table? Where do you get stuff like that besides scrap yards?

Good morning, you always make nice videos. Compliments. I ask you to know the size of the cup and how many liters of argon per minute you used and also, the thickness of the aluminum plate. Thanks for the replies. Cordial greetings. GA

Dusty, thanks for being available and reading all the comments. Another awesome video. Can you do a video on choosing which filler to use. It looks like we have multiple aluminum alloy options. Not sure what works with what nor do I know a good resource to explain which and why.

Hi Dusty I can do this ie fill a hole from the top with good results but how do I do the same thing in 1/4 inch thick aluminium plate on a boat where you can't turn it over? One side is going to be upside down. Which do you fill first? And what if you can't get to the top side at all? How do you get good penetration to the top of the hole in that situation? Keep up the great videos👍 Mark

Thanks for the vid - really enjoy your channel and overall vibe! I have an upcoming project where I need to fill similarly sized aluminum holes, but in 0.040"/1mm thick sheet! Presumably here I would want to cut aluminum discs to fill the holes (as opposed to just using filler to fill the hole)? Any other tips? Maybe a heatsink on the back side for metal that thin? Cheers!

Definitely a chill plate. A fatty piece of stainless as a backing bar will help a bit. But lotsa fill and watch that distortion!💪 Good luck!

what voltage did you use here?

I don't like using grinder guards either.. I have a large collection of guards hanging on the wall, all brand new never been used

I notice you don't change the torch angle, so what is the penetration like half way through the hole? Is your arc jumping around within the hole and penetrating the sides or is the filler just dropping down through the hole?

Any particular reason you pull out so quickly at the end of your welds. Always thought you leave the gas there to shield the weld for some post flow??

2:10 been there....done that. LOL

How much does the plate warp after a fill like this? I use the same procedure on steel and it warps catastrophically. To undo the warp, I beat the weld down like a rivet to expand the shrunken area. I wonder whether that will be a safe thing to do with aluminum and whether it needs annealing first.

@PacificArcTigWelding

Something this small, and in 1/4” plate it didn’t move at all. I do have some tricks to correct warping in parts. Usually includes lots of wood blocks, a rubber mallet and if super bad, a hydraulic hand press. Gotta work at keepin er straight sometimes!

Would this work if the hole was drilled into the wall of a horse trailer and you can't get to the backside of it?

Use a guard. Please use a guard. If you’re using a cheap grinder that doesn’t allow easy turning of the guard, then dump it, spend another $30 for a good one with an easily adjusted guard. You’d be surprised at just how dangerous these things are. The number of people going to the hospital every year from this is in the tens of thousands. Too bad the loss of an eye can’t be made up. The rimes you don’t need a guard is with Scotchbright. But remember that angle sanders don’t turn at 9,000-11,000 rpm. They turn at 2,500 rpm. You need to have a place to donate to.

if that were me, I would have made a bigger hole
