If the blend has more than about 10 percent CO2 in it, it is impossible to get spray transfer with all but the very expensive pulse welders. This equates to slow and low current without much spatter,...

If you are going to get an 80 CF bottle for welding also, get it filled with Argon, more useful for welding and only about $15 more (at least around here) for an Argon refill vs. nitrogen.

Perfect tool for the job. You may be able to cheaply rent a cylinder that would screw right into your regulator. Pay deposit, use the thing, get back deposit minus rent and weight of gas used.

if you are doing co2, DO use a regulator. It likes to pop hoses. Then what you end up with is a fire extinguisher with a frozen shutoff valve. Definitely worth it.
