Which flux wire to use?

admin

New to mig, and have a Hobart Handler 140.Not sure what wire (.030) was on it, when I got it, but when I replaced it, I bought some Fusion Flow .035 flux wire from a welding supplier. It worked better. I was welding 3/16 steel.I bought a 2# spool to try it. They were out of the 10# spools. What .035 flux wire do you folks like?I'll be buying a 10# spool, and don't want to buy wrong.Thanks for any info.

Reply:NR-211 is not quite as nice but available in .030 which might be a better size for the Handler 140. You can get it at Home Despot and Blowes.JohnA few weldersA lot of hammersA whole lot of C-clamps
