What type of welding gear was required to do that job?
I have heard some folks say Aluminum is most difficult to put a bead on.

It's pretty difficult. I used a millermatic 252 mig welder with a 30 amp spool gun. I've gotten pretty good at welding Al. I've built several things in the past 6 years.

Re: Check out the kayak rack I built.
built another one for a guy with a 3/4 dodge day before yesterday. I've already sold mine to Catfishryan on here. I'm going to start me a new one today or tomorrow.
