Just received the local version of Harbour Freight's catalogue and the sale starts Tuesday. It's half way to the metal supply so I'll get everything for the gas tanks then. About 15 miles each way through heavy traffic.
Hi Steve, a logger out in Oregon I know told me that he always drank milk before and after MIG welding galvy with no ill affects. I am too chicken to find out.My friend decided to weld some 3' dia culverts together. He got the job finished and spent a week in the hospital and his health was never really right after that.
I received an interesting lesson on the dangers of zinc poisoning from the doctor and nurses when I went to visit him. It was a cheap lesson well learned.

Steve Tig ac/dc (square wave best), titanium filler & argon shield. Shielding gas front and back sides, so a gas "cabinet" (some hobby shops use a converted bead blast box for this purpose, for small parts) is nice, fume exhaust system and or quality welding respirator. Titanium dioxide is nasty stuff that affects effects kidneys, liver, lungs and brain.Never thought about titanium. Does it require special equipment?
