you can go with a Mig welder with an Aluminum wire Spool gun, might be cheaper in the long run.

I have seen that stuff too. It melts at a much lower temperature than the cans. Your best bet is the gun show. check google type low temp aluminum brazing. Try a welding supply store.

Too much flow, or rather too high a flow rate, can cause turbulance which can spoil the weld.

I wouldn't count on you being totally non-culpable if there is an investigation later. If you know that you are doing non-certified work where certification is specified, you probably have some liability. I've tested welds where people have died from faulty construction. Lawyers throw a big net at such times. Check with a lawyer in your state.

Even if you have welding certs (plate, tube, etc) most contractors/companies require their own testing. I know guys who've been certified to weld for 20 some years, but they still have to pass a plate or tube test everytime they go to a new contractor. The certs also expire after a certain number of years.

Common Arc (Welding Qualification Program) is SUPPOSED to fix this glitch, but there are still a lot of companies that want to test on their own. (Common Arc is for Boilermakers.)

Contact the local Unions or companies to find out more info.

I'm not sure if there's a state wide cert, but I know there are contractor/company specific certs and Common Arc.
