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.

Already mentioned, yes, I believe .30 is the smallest flux wire size you can go.
Flux core wire burns much hotter than gas shielded wire as has been stated as well. You'll wind up punching more holes than you fill (Or it'll feel that way). I still have and keep my little 110VAC flux core around. It's really small and in a pinch, has saved the skin of many friends when you just don't have the time or place for 220VAC or a bottle. A 220VAC gas shielded mig is the best. Mine can weld down to 22 gauge, currently using .23 wire. Works perfect for car body stuff. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |
