I just got a MIG welder to keep my TIG company in the garage.

Can I use 100% argon with the MIG?

I've been through a few welding books and can't find a good answer. Most of the opinions suggest that CO2 mix is used to save money over pure argon, but don't really say wheather or not 100% argon is appropriate for MIG welding.

If I can have one bottle, it would be easier.
