Pfffft... I dunno about you guys but I have a life, I'm gonna go build a fort out of my welders.. them I'm gonna label some more stuff.. then I'm gonna organize all my rods in chronological order.

Hopefully get it all done before my wife wakes up and makes me do real work....


.... and even a rookie knows you don't use gasoline on a brush pile. Wheres the fun in that. Time to break out the thermic lance kit you got on ebay cheap that time and light er up.

I never did get pics but I soaked a brush pile in gas on a perfectly still day...figured I'd let it soak for a little while, came back..poured a trail of gas, lit the match and the whole pile exploded because of the vapor...I had long hair until that day :lol: I have used diesel fuel ever since that day. My kids got to see it :lol: There was alcohol involved 8-)

Not sure where you're getting that. 3-SMW is the TIG filler rod.

I got the values for my chart from the MSDS that also lists other wire in the SS categories. Look closely. ;)

I did see where your values came from, thanks

It seems that there are conflicting data sheets, the link I posted on page 2 (4th post down*) will show where I found this information.

*sure wish the posts were numbered :(

I found it and figured it out. :ugeek: Of course Niobium which is currently "NB" was formerly "CB" and that threw me even after I found the section "c" note. See here:

Niobium - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niobium
Niobium, formerly columbium, is a chemical element with symbol Nb (formerly Cb) and atomic ... Niobium has physical and chemical properties similar to those of the element tantalum, and the two are difficult to distinguish. The English chemist ...

I used to use gasoline and that big "WOOF" noise caught me off guard a few times but never hurt me. Today/tonight I used 1 match and some newspaper and got it going. Then I had to drag the 20 piles of brush that were in line to be burnt that I couldn't throw up onto the already too tall pile. Got Er Done! ;)

Yes, and I am glad in way as I have 5 pounds of it and also some stick electrodes and don't feel like I got ripped off. :lol: I know the stuff works and I like the way works too. I only use mine on special occasions. 8-)

Same here. I picked up 1/16" and 3/32" a couple years ago, just for the hell of it. :lol: Would be cool if they made it in 0.045" or 0.035" for super extra special occasions. :)

I just have 1/16" and when I see a sale I may even buy some more in 3/32" If it's a really good sale some 0.035 or 0.045 is a possibility. 8-) So I assume you like the way it welds too.

I have prototypes here if you want to try them. They're contemplating changing the name to "Mission-Critical Thermo-Nuclear Warhead Weld", just depends which name will sell more pounds. Package will look like this:
