It's summer 8 hours a day all year round under a welding hood- I know. Arc, MIG, TIG?

MIG, ARC some TIG. Certified for MIG, Aluminum pipe, also MIG full penetration structural. Nasty test, dual shield 3/32 wire, 1 1/2 plate, one edge beveled, horizontal, inclined just enough so the weld will not fall out when making a pass. 3 root passes, 5 cover, wait 20 minutes, another 10 passes or so, let cool, finish welding. Not to mention all the chipping and cleaning after each weld. Did a lot of welding with 7018 and Jet Rod. Never had to be certified for stick, though.
