I find myself always going back to a green tungsten for aluminum. I seem to get way better beads with it. Also found that you won't want to sharpen the electrode to a point for a/c, it needs to get a nice ball on end. Heat is critical when you are struggling with aluminum, you need to be hearing the bacon sound! If your having a hard time adding filler, you need heat. Play around with torch angle too.
