Gary,
>From a welding class I took a few years ago, I recall being told that it is 
difficult to feed aluminum wire through a standard MIG gun. But I haven't 
tried it myself. Also I think it would be difficult to control the current 
and voltage on the relatively thin aluminum shroud. You have much better 
control with TIG.
