There are a few resources that are readily available. I found out
a lot at the library and there are a couple of web sites that have books
and information the first is TM Technologies 530-292
3506 WWW.tinmantech.com call and get their catalog and www.covell.biz all
of his catalog is on line. and last but not least is ZEN AND THE ART OF
THE WELD PUDDLE It's an online article
www.airbum.com/articles/articlezenwelding.html I hopes this helps you or
someone out there in the "internet cloud"
Happy Hunting
