Fred, this is totally off topic on your question but if you go to Mark Jones's website and see how I sealed his alum tanks, you could avoid the welding process. Proseal, or the other tank sealant on Van's website is a great sealer used on the entire Van's fleet of aircraft. Just use the correct pop rivets, listed on Mark's site, and you won't have any leaks.
