  • Can anyone weld aluminum?

    Literally need two tack welds done, 2min job, i just dont have the facilities or equipment.

    have 4 pieces of aluminum tubing, 2 sets of the same size.
    The pieces slide very snugly one in side the other. i just need a little tack on each of the pieces so they dont slide inside of each other completely.

    if anyone's got the equipment please let me know.

    Thanks

            You could try capione bike shop just down from the safeway on 12th and 12th. I think they do custom frames and if so they would surely be able to tack it for ya. Worth giving them a call.
