I need to do some work in the hell hole and only have a flux core welder. I'll be using lincoln wire and 18 guage to make a patch and I bought a new engine shelf for that side.

With flux core I think .030" wire is the smallest you can go. It CAN be done with 18g but you have to get on and off the heat really quick. It's nerve racking. Start saving and get a nice MIG machine. I personally like my Miller 140 with Autoset. I got this after using a flux core Century for 15 years or so. I still keep the Century around for heavier stuff .
With some finesse, you can flux core sheet metal but you won't realize how frustrating it really is until you start using gas. Smoooooth. |
