The problem with that is its not the issue of safety. We got all the equipment, the paper work, and approval of those who would do the safety check. Its the school board who is saying no and we are having difficulty changing their minds.

Why are they saying no?

TIG is the hardest type of welding there is, but it's the most precise and you can pin point your heat and filler really well. Heck if your gap is small enough you dont even need filler, you can fuse weld.
