Just wire & gas change for stainless. For odd jobs I wouldn't bother changing gas. For tig, remember to change tungsten, white tip for ally & red tip for stainless. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

its not as critical with stainless. You can weld it with normal wire if you don't mind rusty welds!

As steve says...ally is a different ball game. Tig ally is not my best.
