My MIG does not have the pulsing feature. I have been doing pretty well with short 1/4" or so tacks with the correct settings. I had just been doing some reading on Metalmeet and ran across some mention about TIG and MIG welding with Silicon Bronze. The benefits are suppose to be less heat applied, lower distortion, and much easier to metal finish. I am NOT an overly skilled welder. Not bad, but not GOOD either. So, any thing I can do to reduce distortion and finish easier I have to explore. I have an expert welder at my disposal, but for non-structural stuff I hate to have to wait for his schedule. Plus, I love to learn new stuff. I'll try to get some pictures of the results as I move along.
