I purchased my carpet in the auto dept of Walmart. I think it was made for the
trunk, and is thin and light, but not much color choice. George Phx

The local Menards had a carpet similar to what Jim C used. The color selection
seemed to change over time. It was some type of runner I think.
I also used unlined trunk carpet that I got from the local upholstery shop. It
is very strechable, as if that's a problem, but it also soaks up a lot of glue.

George...that's where I got mine. It's light enough to use on most of the baggage
compartment. I think they call it "Ozellite" or something like that. Jim

| Subject: | A question for experience welders |
I'm thinking about buying MIG welder for tacking and welding stainless and aluminum.
Anyone have a recommendation for one that won't break the bank? I know
nothing about MIG or TIG....except that TIG costs a lot more. I figure I'll
learn how to use what I buy. Jim Berry

Jim, I would stay with either Lincoln Miller or Hobart. They come in either 110
or 220V, if you have 220 volt handy, go with that. Don't mess with the fluxcore
setup, go with co2 or co2-argon mix. Of the three, I would go with the Hobart,
it comes all set up to run gas, the Lincoln and Miller are set up for fluxcore
and the gas kit is about $85-100 more. Run .023 wire. If you weld SS or aluminum
you need straight argon. For aluminum, a tig works better. Buy the cylinder,
don't lease. All of these can be bought in the $500 range plus the cylinder.
Small cylinders are about $100. I do all the tacking building TWs with a
220 Lincoln, it is fast and you don't burn up the table. Jim C

Jim, mig is great for tack welding, but to weld aluminum you'll need a tig
welder and LLOTTTTTTTTS of practice. Most mig welders were made so that even us
dumb ole rednecks can weld with it, "very simple". If tacking is all you are
going to do you can get some welders as low as $250 but my advise is to go
ahead and invest in a good Mig - Tig combination welder around $2900 - $3500 and
be done with it, Miller & Lincoln make a good one. After you learn to weld you
will probably not be able to do without one. Lots of luck. Alex, not a
"certified welder", but have done a hell of a lot of it

I bought the miller (120V) with the gas kit.
All 3 seemed about the same except the miller had a more convincing wire
feed mechanism. I figured for the $50 or $80 bucks more (at my welding
shop) I'd go ahead and get the "brand name"
I wore myself out trying to buy cylinders when I got my gas welding set.
(And beer fridge) No one would sell me any except the real small ones.
Didn't even ask to buy when I got the MIG welder.
I DO like not burning up the table now.
I think you have to get a special "spool gun" to hook up to the welder to
weld aluminum. It can't push that soft wire through the tube.
