Decided gas was too much trouble for site job I was going to do so as it appens there was a pro welding supplies round the corner.
41.70 euros for 5kg/200mm spool of 0.8 fluxcore. Local DIY shed summat like 70 yoyos for 0.9 fc.
The wire seems much softer than the 0.9 stuff I had before, it lays down some nice beads and the slag is fairly easy to clean off with hand wire brush.Spatter not too bad at all.
Fairly well pleased with that.
I'm using standard 0.8 roller and tip and its feeding ok, I have thought about sticking in an 0.9 tip as the tip get blocked sometimes, but thats down to me not keeping enuf stick out.
I'll try to post some photos next week when I'm back down there.
