Hi Guys,
As a new member, I thought I would ask you experts out there what their view was of gasless, flux-cored mig welding. I bought my SIP Migmate 130 a few years ago in order to keep my 40 year old Triumph on the road, but it quickly became obvious that you had to be a millionaire to buy the stacks of argon/co2 cans you require when learning to mig weld! As I am not a millionaire I quickly shoved the Migmate to the back of the garage and forgot about it, reverting to carbon-arc brazing to deal with the Triumph's problems. However somebody mentioned gasless flux cored mig wire as being the answer to the horrendous expense of argon/co2 tins. I don't do enough welding to warrant the expense of a pub-sized co2 bottle.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brazer
