  1. How often should I change > or do I even need to> the tip and shroud on my welding torch? I'm a beginner so they been getting a bit cruddy but I can scrape most of it off. It's not like the wires getting stuck or owt like that but just wondered how clean I should keep em? Tar much
     
  2. I find the tips stay a lot cleaner by spraying the torch with some anti splatter spray. I've probably gone through 4 tips over the complete resto of my van. They are easier to clean with anti splatter spray on them.

  3. Cheers for the top tip. My tips will now stay tip top
     
  4. When mine get the wire stuck i remove them give them a little tickle with a small fine file pull the wire out and re use them
    I use 0.6 wire with an 0.8 tip as i find they last longer this way although others may slap me and explain why thats a bad idea
