Did manage to run out at lunch time and exchange my empty 125 Cu Ft C25 gas bottle, Whoo Hoo, I got Wire and Gas, let's melt some more metal.

Yes sir. Now we are talkin. Very nice fab work buddy!! White Berliner coating are you using. I done some reading and got a lot of bad reviews from the herculiner but heard good about the rustoleum brand so that's what I went with. It's much cheaper at Walmart than at the auto parts stores too. I am happy with the rustoleum brand but then again the herculiner comment is based just off what I read so it may be just as good. I'll be waiting for update.

I will have to look at the product name.
I bought it at an auto paint supply (Finish Masters ) Smart brand.
It was not cheap for the kit, ~ $150 IIRC.
It was for another application and did not get used.
Should be pretty good.
