my morals demand I say something... though still interested to watch if you don't believe me.. i'll bring my video camera..(my morals don't negate my need for entertainment)

the gas used in welding is inert... it is also not flammable, it is used to shield the weld from ambient air, which is usually dirty and somewhat combustible. if you used liquid pressurized through a welder you would set yourself and your shop on fire... you could make an argument for using propane (because it IS a gas form when vertical) but this would also be very bad...

bottom line, flammable welding shield fumes = probable dead welder (person and machine) possibly with no house/shop... so in the interest of seeing tomorrow, don't try it. but if you do, call me I want to watch/film a future "Darwin Award" winner so people believe it.
