Thanks John,
I know it's impossible when seeing 1990C4S response.

For a MIG setup:
Aluminum wire is too soft for any welder to push through a line.
You need a special powered spool gun at the end and different gas.
Even then results will be very substandard without a ton of experience.

Practice make perfect, so get a bunch of scrap and practice.
