Exminiman: I usually use 5% (argon) and get on really well with it, for both thin panels and larger thicker section. Have used 20% in the past but couldn't get on with it and couldn't wait to get a new bottle on 5%.

Must admit I find get best results on body work with 5% argon, just wondered if it was my welding skills ( or lack of) effecting it.....maybe not
