If you want a nice clean look and a strong hold you will find someone who does a nice tig...

also it depends on the material, i believe MIG is hotter and is not recommended for aluminum and such...you'd have to look into it as im not positive.

Yeah TIG welders are not cheap and TIG is for stainless and aluminum...It will be a much nicer looking, stonger holding wled if done the proper way. MIG is just ugly and not as nice of a weld...Our company uses Pinellas Pasco Welding supply and they sell welders new and used... Try them 727-443-2116
