Best Answer

I was taught oxy/acetylene welding first, then stick. TIG welding is just like oxy/acetylene except much easier (less variables and a foot control to make minor corrections or even pulse the weld) I would recommend you learn both. TIG welding for precise/clean welding. Stick for some larger, perhaps special welding (hard facing tools - bigger pieces of steel).

A separate filler rod is fed manually into the weld puddle in much the same way as is done when gas welding.The process is well suited for aluminum.
