Argoshield for Tig

[brianblock]

After using Mig and Mma for many years I've finally splashed out on an Ac/dc Tig Inverter.
Does anyone actually switch to argoshield mix when welding mild steel with the Tig or is it 100% pure Argon all the way got Tig?

100% Argon, Argoshield does not work with TIG

I wasted two years trying to learn to Tig weld using argoshield. You can to a degree but not worth the effort.
I wished I had asked before trying it.
I was here umpteen times asking for advice on the problems I was having, then one day somebody asked me what gas I was using.
Dummy!.

Thanks buddy just what I thought would be the case

Argoshield is a ridiculous name to be fair, it's very misleading. Migshield would be a far better name, the amount of people that have ordered the wrong gas from me over the years, only to return it the next day as they were confused is astounding.
