Need SS filler recommendation... Pete C. 10-30-2008

I have acquired some stainless SCUBA tank clamp bands that were made for
tanks a bit larger than the typical 80CF aluminum cylinders. I need to
cut them down and reweld them to use on my 80CF tanks. The SS alloy of
the bands is unknown. I need a recommendation on what SS filler to use
for TIGing them back together. I don't have any SS filler on hand, so I
have to go shopping no matter what the recommendation is.

Thanks,

        Pete C.

They could be 304 SS, but to be safe use 316L or 317L filler.
