I bought a TIG welder thinking I was going to do a little repair on the hell hole and have found that TIG needs a lot of technique. I'm getting ok on the bench but the combination of thin sheet metal and out of position welding on the car has lost my confidence. Anyway, I think I have to go with MIG....My question is can I weld MIG with the pure argon gas that I use with the TIG welder or do I have to buy another bottle? I understand that most MIG is done with a mixture of argon and co2. I would like not to buy another bottle. What do you think? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
