Default aluminium

That's interesting, I should like to weld it if I can, I have a TIG welder
and I gather the trick is to use square wave.
I had wondered if the alloy was something special as I haven't had problems
with other (non Bristol) ally welding.
I did try a couple of small tack welds a couple of years back,
unsuccessfully as they cracked post weld but it was all very hasty and I
probably didn't have the machine or myself set up properly ( I hope).
