Thanks scare, yes i have a miller 212 with an aluminum spool gun, really need a tig for this small stuff.But some days i can get it dialed in just right,others it looks like popcorn.Just keep it clean or you will get alot of trash in your weld. What are you welding with?

Great cage! What grade aluminum did you use? Did you get it anno'd or is that just polished?
