I phoned up wizard and they sent me a "brochure", well dodgy photocopy of what you are supposed to do.

I just fancy making one myself so the works no a worry, besides I've not fired my Mig up in ages :)

I am very interested in performance though and your friends figures seem very promising - how hot is really hot ?? I figure you need about 70 degrees water temperature to really feel the heat.

I wonder if the Wizard ones had any sort of Heatsink inside them for better conduction ?? like the air ones. And do you fit two ?
