Indeed, there is nothing more irritating than someone saying TIG is hard to learn or is for experts. Use the tool you need for the job.
TIG is a fantastic tool that provides absolute control over the weld. With MIG, you must keep applying heat and material. You only have the choice of on/off. With TIG you have total control over heat and how much/when material is applied. For the types of fabrication I do, I almost always use the TIG over the MIG. Also, TIG is excellent for aluminum.... and there is no changing spools when switching metals.
Torch or TIG are the answer for thin materials.
