Aluminium welding repairs. Which welder?

Mark Leedham · May 16, 2021

I'm considering buying a welder to repair my aluminium panels and seatbox.
Has anyone any recommendations on a welder they use?
Any information would be appreciated
Thanks

Very tricky to weld aluminum, especially thin panels, as it does not change color when it reaches its melting point. Lots of YouTube videos on the subject.

I bought an r-tech ac/dc tig set. Great bit of kit but not cheap at £1500
Them on YouTube make it look easy.

As said aluminium needs lots of practice and needs to be spotlessly clean

I welded an aluminium heat shield off a Caterham with that Lumiweld stuff from Frost, like brazing really but did the job
