i've used the old copper trick with mig welding steel by clamping a plate of copper to the edge of some steel to prevent the filler material from going over the sharp edge i wanted to keep.

Re: Aluminum Welding
I know this is a year old thread but I hate opening new threads when there's something out there already. I looked at this wire:

And the seller told me it was a gas-less aluminum wire. Meaning flux to me. I have a cheapy Harbor Freight welder which works fine for what I need on steel but now for my race bike I need to weld some aluminum pieces. So yes or no?
