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.

 Thank you Rick! :)

  I had never welded Stainless before. I started, went about 1/4" and
came to a halt REAL fast. It looked UGLY! :)
