Even a cheap wire welder with flux cored wire would be a better choice than trying to stick on thin stuff
now thats funny i dont care who ya is! :woohoo:
Still recovering,some days are better than others.

Follow the link... Will help in Heli-Arc (Stick) Welding and electrode selections....
kzrider.com/index.php?option=com_docman&...d&gid=483&Itemid=108
OMR
Heliarc is Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, also called GTAW, Gas Tungsten Arc Welding.
TIG welding is also called Heliarc® welding. Heliarc® was the trade name given to the process by Linde's when it was introduced decades ago. The arc is started with a tungsten electrode shielded by inert gas and filler rod is fed into the weld puddle separately. The gas shielding that is required to protect the molten metal from contamination and amperage are supplied during the TIG welding operation.

6010/6011/6013 works well for welding rusty dirty metal, but leaves "ugly" welds, although it's super easy to strike an arc. 7018 requires "clean" metal, is harder to strike an arc, but leaves a bead like a row of dimes.
amperage requirements are usually printed on the package.

First 2 digits are tensile strengths
3rd digit is ROD/electrode welding position
4th digit is flux compositions and current (AC/DC)
Additional numbering used for weld deposits chemical compositions
Lincoln, Miller, Hobart all have good information on this subject of electrode selections, sizes, currents and weld metal thicknesses to make your selection...
Feetweld P5 for tacks....
Low Hydrogen (7018) for final & strength welds...
You'll be good to go....
BTW, Dark that's just a torch kit not TIG...
TIG or MIG (Inert Gas concepts) for that matter still require an electric power source (welding machine) for AC/DC currents to the electrodes... whether it be wire feed (MIG) or tungsten tipped (TIG).... Or any other inert gas acronym that can be found on wikipedia...
You can still oxy/acetylene weld with it though... Not sure I'd trust the tensile strength on a kZ frame in this manner but pending what your doing with it.... who knows...
If you already have a AC/DC welding machine then all you require is a TIG rig, tungsten electrodes, GAS regulator and a bottle of Argon... OK, one more plus the wire fillers for carbon steel, aluminum or stainless you plan welding on...
Let us know how it comes out for you.... Good luck!
