Cool aluminum welding with mig

Sounds like there are a few more than capable welders on the board. Heres a shot of my first attempt at mig welding aluminum. Took a little while adjusting heat and speed as well as hand position but I think its working pretty well now. Im laying a bead down pretty good with very little splatter. This is on 1/8 x 1 aluminum pieces that are going to be used as a rack for washing out screens. Doesnt need to look pretty just hold up. Any tips or suggestions. Is the bead to large?



I dont know what all the fuss is about with mig and aluminum, I havent run into any problems with feeding or anything else for that matter. Seems like it just takes time to figure it out. Using a Miller 135 with argon and .035 wire.
