@Kevincaron..... Nice video! I love your metal art. You mentioned the galvanic metal response between cooper and steel when wet. What do you recommend as a "sealer" or "clear cost" for decorative pieces in my wife's garden? Everything I've found at home depot is varnish for woods and plastic. The spray can clear costs no matter how thick don't last at all. My stuff rusts quick! Any suggestions? Thank you.

@danssv8 I think the amps in this video were in the 80 to 90 range. As for the pipe setting, I have never worked with that size sorry. Maybe someone else can chime in on this?? (Please!)

Continued from the below post:
I meant to type "clear COAT""," not "costs". Darn typos!!!! Typing with an iPhone is tough!!!!

@ColtDeltaElite10mm I know what you mean!! I also suffer from big finger/little button syndrome. As for a great clear coat, have you tried permalac? You can also do a clear coat powdercoat. I have also used Penetrol. Just spray it on and let it dry. I know it is for paint but it works great on clean steel also.

@sylvanenergy Nope, two O/A rigs. The one in the video is a tig torch running straight argon.
