Hello Guys,

I have a flex pipe that needs to be shortened by a 1/4". Can I use mild
steel filler rod or should I go buy some SS? I'll *assume* I can gas
weld SS...right?

Thanks

Phil Williamson

One word. FLUX.  When torch welding either Aluminum, Stainless or Inconel
using the right flux is the only way to go.  I have watched Kent White DO
some interesting things at Osh.  Here is the welding supply link.  I receive
no compensation for this.
