Hi everyone,
I use 0.8mm flux core welding wire (here in Oz, sorry don't know equivalent size in Imperial). My sequence of welding a run is
a) use side cutters to get a clean tip on the gun
b) weld a bit and stop
c) clean what I have welded (using wire brush and file to remove slag)
d) goto step a)
people welding on YouTube using a gas shield (therefore solid core wire)
a) weld a bit and stop
b) goto step a) and NO need to cut the wire at the gun tip
This looks a much more enjoyable way to weld. Am I missing something in my technique OR the reality is using a gas shield is the way to go.
Cheers
