I need to weld up a hole in the chassis of my transit.
I have a boc/murex transmig 140 and will be getting a bottle of 5% argon/co2
Im also planning on getting a reel of wire - probably 0.6 - but i cant remember what size roller(s) i have. Potentially 0.8 or even 1.0
What make/sort of wire is recommended?
I usually stick weld - this is my first mig in over 20 years, and the last was a sip that put me off mig for over 20 years! Im after whatever the mig equivalent of "white box 6013" is.
Also - 5kg, or 15kg reel?
The next project i have is a repeat job which used about 5kgs of 2.5mm rods - how many kgs of wire would that equate to, roughly? ( i have no idea whether it would equal 1kg of wire, or 100kg!)
