What was your plan for mixing ?

Going to look for some affordable, high-res flowmeters (if such a thing exists) while keeping my eyes peeled for a steal on a Smith proportional mixer. I'm not really needing anything highly accurate in the forseeable future.

Ar/CO2 for now, I'm thinking up to 90/10 is probably doable. He may come later.

Always on the spot with the appropriate video from Jody. You really need to teach us how to do that.

Google "weldingtipsandtricks subject" for instance "weldingtipsandtricks gas mixer"... without the quotation marks.

I don't feel qualified to do a good job of it. Maybe Mark will do one soon.

Dang that's a helluva hole. Wonder how it got there.

Most of what I'm seeing makes it look like the Ar/He isn't as picky about percentages as Ar/CO2, bummer.
