admin

is this even possible? just bought alittle 135 to do some patch panels on my truck and my garage is only a single that can barely fit my truck let alone me on the side of it. is there anyway i can mig outside without worrying about all my gas blowing away?
Reply:It's doable sometimes. If the breeze isn't too strong you can use your hand,arm, body,ect to block some wind. Sometime a piece of plywood can be propped up to give a larger wind break.Tough as nails and damn near as smart

Reply:Yes that is one of the main reasons for flux core is you don't have to have a gas since there is flux in the wire to protect the weld from contamination. Gas can be used but is usually not necessary.Lincoln 225 RangerSa200            01 dodge  3500 welding rig
