I feel the same, I have a couple of jobs to do for my son, fit a wing bottom repair panel, non structural so I feel it would be ideal for this. My son has a 30 year old Clarke 100 that I gave him, would this be suitable? @HughFI'm thinking of odds and sods of stuff rather than car repairs... dissimilar, stainless, casings etc ..
Having a small roll might be helpful
Thats my use case...I don't really use it a lot on my car restorations...it's more the odds and sods jobs that pop up.I'm thinking of odds and sods of stuff rather than car repairs...

@Pigeon_Droppings2 What does the setting change over dip transfer? Higher volts and lower wire speed is presuming to keep the amps low? Is the polarity opposite to conventional mig also?
It’s something I’d like to try but haven’t got any practical use for really… but I’m well catered for with tig brazing should I need it.
I see recently the crown control barriers (the waist height galvanised ones that they use at the front of festivals, marathons etc) are done with this material, which is a great idea if it’s possible to galvanise everything individually then assemble with a mig braze onto the zinc. Means they dont rust like the older ones do.you need pure argon it works well leaves great fillets joining stainless to ms too
would be great for overlaying details on gates etc
not sure the wire grade it might be alu bronze ive got
The wire arrived this morning & just tried it out. Not a great success at first, but after a few minutes much better, this was with probably about 12 inches practice in total. One of the problems I had was seeing where I was going, ended up with the mask turned down to about shade 7. Overall happy with it, just need another welder to stop having to swap reels, financial controller …. Where are you?Let us know how you get on with it.
