Hard wire, Dual Shield Flux Core, Gasless Flux Core?

[Oldpath05]

This guy demonstrates flux core welding pretty good, gas and gas-less. I prefer solid wire for filling gaps but I suppose out in the weather self shielding wire might be better...

If you insist on using gasless fux cored wire for what ever your reasoning is, It would serve you well to look for E71T-11 instead of E71TGS. Night and day difference at a similar price. I can't stand the stuff so i use stick outside. Much more versatile and useful from 1/16 - 1" material. Use what you like and like it !

Very useful info, Oldpath05. I'll be watching more of his videos. Thanks!

Yes I like the way he explains flux core welding, I just found his channel. At the shipyard I use a tremendous amount of 71T gas flux-core, .045 and .052 but no shelf-shielding wire allowed on Navy ships and lots of welders like the 70s-3 M-Core wire, I use both.

maybe you need to tell the Navy about the YouTube videos that say it's good?..

The strange thing is the Navy would not allow 101tm flux-core wire on certain shell seems or structure of the Zumwalts, had to use 100s-1 solid wire on pulse-arc. But now BIW wont allow 100s-1 or 70s-3-M core pulse arc wire on any temp lifting & handling<<<temp attachments to connect chains and cables for cranes to lift parts of the ship, sometimes welding is a strange world. I can use both solid and flux-core wire so it dont matter to me what wire the Navy wants on their ship, but I really would hate to go back to stick welding.
