Ally stick welding

[sardine]

I want to try out some stick welding ( DC inverter) with Aluminium electrodes, i know its nasty, but might do some repair jobs for me. I can only find 2 kg for £103 !

Can anyone tell me a source for small quantities ?

That ebay link above should be used with caution. I looked at these guys before for other stuff and their -ve feedback is brutal.

Caveat emptor !
