My father used to repair grilles and trim in the old days.He used to melt pieces of brken pot metal and form rods as thin as possible,cause that stuff melts fast.
And He used to weld aluminum with axcel/oxg,with some special flux he got from I hate to say it "France". Think it was hidden in the caves with the champanyne they hid from the Germans during WW2. But the can did open backwards though.I was just a kid when he did that,lost art now I guess.
@theflyinwop Way cool!! I have been using cut off metal on this weathering steel piece I am working on. If the gap is too large I just grab a cut off and use that instead of rod.

Kevin, I don't even have a tig welder and probably never will but I watched this cuz I always enjoy you guys's productions. Plus, ya never know... Nice job. As always.
Hi Kevin, Have you ever used Tig rods (e.g. stainless steel) for use with oxy-acetylene to weld stainless? I would be interested in your experience and advise. Good Video - also lets me know what to do with the end of the MIG wire coil when it stops making contact. Thanks

@bjensen5 I have never used TIG rod that way but I have used coathanger when I ran out of steel rod for the TIG.
Absolutely NOT for high stress apps. but will work in a pinch.
As for the left over mig wire just do the same trick and use it with the TIg. Don't have a TIG use it with your O/A rig.
Thanks for posting.

nice trick... not something you'd want to be doing too often.
But if you run out of rods and only need a couple more??? nice.
