Forgot to mention. 5251 is available from any stockholder in the UK but in mainland Europe 5052 would be the nearest. 3103,3003 and 5005 are a bit softer and 5754 H111 a bit harder. All would be adequate.
The term " aircraft grade " makes me laugh. It's meaningless drivel that is just designed to imply quality and command unjustified prices. I wish that I could TIG weld. Only done MIG on thick sheet. |

Mike, do check that your TIG welder has an AC setting, this is fairly crucial for alluminium, although if you've welded the soft stuff before I'm sure you know this already. TIG is the most gentlemanly method of welding, compared to the anti-social behaviour of a MIG it's pleasurable.
