Weld Life Shirt - TIG Welding Secrets

Beyond the weld life shirt: the TIG edge that shows in your bead

A weld life shirt says you’re in the trade. Your arc control proves it. TIG Welding Secrets distills pro-grade technique into a tight, practical field guide so your stainless, aluminum, and exotic work looks intentional—clean color, tight heat, repeatable results. Built from thousands of hours on aerospace, motorsport, and sanitary benches, it strips out folklore and replaces it with clear setups, repeatable processes, and on-the-fly troubleshooting.

Inside you’ll find the precise variables that matter—and how to set them fast: tungsten geometry and size selection, cup and lens choices for stable shielding, purge strategy, amperage planning, pulse logic, arc length and torch angle discipline, filler timing, and pedal modulation. You’ll get checklists for prep and fixturing that cut distortion, fit-up methods that reduce rework, and color/porosity diagnostics you can apply mid-bead. Authored by a career TIG specialist with shop-floor and inspection experience, it’s written to raise first-pass success, shorten setup, and make your bead profile and heat tint predictable across positions and materials.

• Cleaner beads with less heat input and tighter heat-affected zones.
• Faster, repeatable setups that reduce guesswork and do-overs.
• Confidence on thin stainless, tight corners, and heat-sensitive assemblies.
