That style clamp should be sufficient even with out copper embellishments..... I never have issues with the one on my HH 140....After I replaced the silly jumper cable type clamp it came with (older model HH140)...

Personal when welding thin to thick I tend to keep major heat on thick material and wash over to thin just long enough to get a bond on thin material.... Sort of like a 3 count process.... 1-2 on thick and 3 over to thin and back and repeat over and over and over....
My concern like some...Leave a comment:

What ground clamp are you using?..... Is connections tight where you change polarity of leads?... Is connection tight at wire feed assembly.... IF you grab the threaded terminal of ground where it connects in case is the terminal loose or wobbly.... Is connections good from transformer out puts to terminal...Last edited by Dale M.; 03-18-2019, 09:48 AM.Leave a comment:

Has gun whip been run over or severely kinked.... Have you tried using compressed air to blow out any dirt or particles collecting in liner?....
Sound like to much resistance to wire travel in liner and gun than a "roller" problem...

It was partly a joke, but spending a couple of hundred dollars for spool gun that will probably be uses only once after hours of learning cure and holes blown in work, $20 worth of rivets and sheet aluminum and sealer seems a lot more practical....

Probably best repair for something like ripped/cracked aluminum boat skin is going to be "Flex Seal" tape... If gap is to big try a repair patch of aluminum sheet and rivets....

According to "some"...NO........ But if you want best experience and more trouble free, less problem plagued weld I think spool gun would be best....
TO make it work without spool gun you probably need a aluminum alloy wire that is pretty stiff, need to keep gun lead pretty straight,...Last edited by Dale M.; 02-28-2019, 12:06 PM.Leave a comment:
