I'm using 3/16 red stripe (can't remember if that is ceriated or thoriated) tungsten with 1/16 rod as most of what I'm doing is lighter gauge stuff. I did try 1/8" tungsten when I was experienting with the intercooler tubing but with the .065 aluminum tubing I was melting down the tungsten just trying to puddle the weld.

WTF?!?!?!
TIG WELDING IS ALWAYS A PUSH..... MIG you can push or pull.
