Hi
I have an esab 200 mig welder which I am doing a lot of agricultural repairs with. I have a few problems that I would like some advice with. 1st some of the machinery I am welding is rusty or I have to remove the paint off it before I weld it. 2nd The repair are on site and having to handle/move a gas bottle about is a pain. 3rd 80% of the welding is outside and the wind blows the gas away affecting the weld. I would like to know if I used flux cored wire would I still have to remove paint and rust off the machinery and does welding in the wind affect it or should I just buy a stick welder?
Thanks
