Im doing a tiny bit of body work should be ok with the argon tho ?</TD></TR></TABLE>
It will work. Seems like the "ideal" mix is 75/25 argon/cO2
15-20 seems to work great for most mild steel apps.

argon wont work well at all.. you need a mixed gas... 75/25..
as far as cfm settings, anywhere from 15-30cfm, depending on the wind factor, will work...

I have heard of people using mig gas mixtures on tig before b/c thats all they had. It wasn't perfect but it was better than nothing...is this not the case?

just dont try welding with straight argon if gravity is gonna be pullin on the molten bead while welding..
like an overhead, or vertical bead.. flat should be okay... it just might lack penetration.
