Oh this is Water Cooled, and as I said, only became an issue since I was using the Long Cup with its Long Electrode exposed.

The welds are spaced pretty far apart, I can "rush" from one site to another but, it's not all that a comfortable thing to do. I also like giving the Duty Cycle (30% on my PP256) a chance...

So, I'm not so much a Weldor doing a Fireworks Job, as a Fireworks Guy who's Welding Since my State has recently approved these Finale Pods (2.5-6") to be constructed of Alum instead of Wood, this has been my Winter Project. It's all for Me - just didn't anticipate almost $500 in Gas

I don't own a Spool Gun but, maybe would have had I known. At least I'm sure of all my welds by Tigging (I've seen too many Mig welds that can casually "look" better than they actually Are)
