what to do with leftover RG45?

admin

since i bought a tig welder, I haven't used my oxy/fuel set up.  I have a bunch of RG45 filler rods left about 10lb's total, some 3/32, some 1/16.  What other uses do they have?  is there ever a situation you can use them with tig?  I suppose i can always bend them and make cloth hangers out of them.  now, THAT'S ironic.
Reply:hmmmm spacers for root openings? dunno i never OA weld either anymore. doesnt bother me a bit either! use them for art or something.
Reply:It will weld with tig, it just will have a gray cast to it.It is great to Tig with for "farm" repair if nothing else is available.Esab Migmaster 250Lincoln SA 200Lincoln Ranger 8Smith Oxy Fuel setupEverlast PowerPlasma 80Everlast Power iMIG 160Everlast Power iMIG 205 Everlast Power iMIG 140EEverlast PowerARC 300Everlast PowerARC 140STEverlast PowerTIG 255EXT
Reply:Hay just keep it you never know...I picked up my torch the other night and grabbed a coat hanger to see if I still could run a bead and found out that it is still fun......With the way things are going you might not have the electrons flowing but you can still weld!!!!!

Reply:I have done a couple of beads tigging with RG45.  that was the day i brought the sync180 home and can't wait to try it.  It turned out to be very porous.  I banged it around a little, seems to hold ok.  that's the extent of it.  Guess I'll just keep it around, never know when i'll need them for something.
Reply:Why not just put them on the shelf until you do need them?I'm a Lover, Fighter, Wild horse Rider, and a pretty good welding man......
Reply:Gee I can't even remember all the thing I've done with welding rod. Hang parts for spray painting, replace a broken cable or pin on conveyor belts,wire up accessories during engine changes, remake worn carb linkages,who knows what else. It's just wire , theres no end to its uses.Tough as nails and damn near as smart
