Super welding wire (MIG)

[LanceM]

I read about this MIG wire on another board and thought I'd try it as my abilities on sheet metal with .024 wire left something to be desired on my less than great days

This wire is made by Perfect Circle and is called Twenty Gauge, that's it's name not the wire gage, it is a .030 wire, and a cored wire but you have to use it with gas (75/25 Argon CO2). It makes welding sheet metal down to .015 thick a dream compaired to anything else that I have used. It is priced about the same as any other flux cored wire, $10-12 for 2 Lbs roll.

Unlike flux core wires this has no residue and needs no cleanup. The core is made up of ground up metal or something like that, all I know is that it works! Anyway for me it eliminated the burn through and that was my biggest problem. So if you have some body welding to do give it a try! I was lucky and the local welding supply had it, but you should be able to find it on line if not locally.

I have used it on heavier metals too being to lazy to change it out for a couple of welds and it works great. Penatration is very good and the puddle is easy to control for really great looking welds. I've found, for me at least, on thinner metals pull welding works best, for the thicker stuff pushing the puddle works best as would be expected.
