OK, he used .030 aluminum wire in his spoolgun MIG. He bought a small bottle of mixed gas they recommended, he thinks it was 75% Argon,/25% CO2 but a welding supply place should know. The boat he worked on was .050, it was a 12′ boat he cut and shortened to 8′. He uses it to duck hunt somewhere we have to travel on the Mississippi then drag a small boat into a canal.
He has a stainless brush and some sandpaper he never uses on anything but aluminum, and he said it welds best the less time between cleaning and welding.
