mobythevan Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I finally got a bottle of C25 shielding gas and started welding wih .023 wire this weeknd. Up until now I have been using flux core wire. Man what a difference. I will not go back to flux core wire for anything. First weld looked great. I had been putting off the change to shielding gas becasue it is kind of exspensive to get the bottle the first time. I wished I would have got it 2 months ago. I got the passenger engine frame rail tacked in place this weekend. It turned out really nice with the pocket for cross member bolts and the narrowing at the fron like the origional. When it is welded up I will be replacing the passenger floor and adding the subframe connector on the passenger side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 You will use the flux core wire again if you every have to weld outside with a slight breeze. But agreed. Gas is the only way to go. The plain wire is cheaper than flux core too so only you get the bottle paid for cost is a push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
