SSIMDER 0.8mm Flux Core Welding Wire 1KG, E71T-GS Gasless MIG Wire, Low Spatter, Smooth Feed, for Outdoor Use, Auto Repair, Thin Steel, Self-Shielded Windy Conditions

NO GAS, NO CYLINDER, NO WIND PROBLEM - E71T-GS flux core wire is self-shielded, so the shield comes from the flux inside the wire instead of a gas cloud that wind blows away. That is what makes it workable on a driveway, an allotment or a farmyard. Set the polarity to DCEN before you start, torch or gun to negative and earth clamp to positive, because flux core run on the wrong polarity spits, sticks and loses penetration. Then weld outdoors with no cylinder rental and no regulator to buy TANGLE FREE FEED, FEWER BIRD NESTS - The wire is precision wound layer by layer, so it does not drop between layers and jam at the liner inlet, which is the usual cause of a bird nest in a budget welder. It runs on the standard 0.8 and 0.9mm dual groove drive roller fitted to most home machines, and the 1kg mini spool goes straight onto a small welder. Keep the drive roll tension just tight enough to stop slipping, since over tightening crushes flux core wire and deforms the round profile RIGHT THICKNESS, RIGHT CURRENT - Built for thin sheet, which is where flux core earns its place. Run 0.8mm to 1.6mm mild steel in a single pass at 60 to 105A: about 60 to 70A on 0.8mm, 75 to 90A on 1.0mm to 1.2mm, and 95 to 105A on 1.6mm. Above 2mm the wire runs out of penetration, so move up to 1.0mm wire, or bevel the joint and run several passes with the slag chipped out between each one VACUUM SEALED, SO IT STAYS DRY - Every spool is vacuum packed in an airtight foil bag, so the flux cannot pull moisture out of a damp garage before you open it. Moisture in the flux is what causes porosity and a spitting, unstable arc, and it is the most common reason a spool gets thrown away half used WHAT YOU GET, AND WHAT IT WILL NOT DO - One spool of 0.8mm wire on a plastic reel, vacuum packed and ready to load. That is the whole box: no reel adapter, no spare contact tip, no gas. It is carbon steel wire, so it will not weld stainless steel, cast iron or aluminium. For exhausts, mower decks, gates, railings, brackets and general repairs it is the right wire
