flux typically pull away to avoid pushing the flux into the puddle.

no flux either or

 

I was just saying unless you trying to make weld porn I wouldn't bother with the tank. I plan on going with flux core when I mig.

 

@fatfurious2 will take just about any porn at this point.

 

Push away?

 

Shit, I'd take that too!

 

I’ve never used flux core and don’t plan too, but I push and pull depending on the situation. Doesn’t seem to make any difference for me.

 

That's what I use. It's a little $90 gasless mig and works great for what I need. It would be nice having a chart to make proper settings but I'm slowly getting the hang of it.

That's just a safety hazard

 

x2 that's what I've learned as well through YouTube University.

 

Ill take one, please.

 

Ill check with Roberts Oxygen tomorrow. Thats the local place near me. Argon is what I am looking for right?

 

I thought of a new idea to save money. Instead of using argon mix as a shielding gas, why not just blow on the weld puddle? Should work really well and save $$$$

 

"Why'd you blow on the weld puddle Jimmy?"

"Well Bob, it looked a little hot and I was just trying to cool it down."

 

Yes please!!! Ill take two!!! K...thanks

 

Damn....beat me to it! I posted before reading the rest of the posts....

 

Here's a good video with the basics of flux core, and some of the common problems that you may run into. I like this guy a lot.

He's a cool guy to watch! In one of his videos he welds together a huge flat bed trailer, and it's really cool to watch everything that went into it.

 

I wouldn't be able to handle two of those at once

 

youre still pushing the flux into the puddle. hence you would pull away
