Flux wire is horrible compared to gas The cheapest option is a co2 pub bottle try bribing your local publican Co2 is not as good as argon Co2 mix but a hundred times better than flux wire For alloy you need pure argon John |

It looks like I'm staying with gas, cannot alter the polarity on this early model mig (there was no gasless wire when it was built), but I did find this, small throw away bottles. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/400226658526?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1008wt_662 That might solve the problem, thanks for the input. |

In that link I posted above, the guy said he found no difference with polarity, so it would be worth a try if you can get some wire cheap. You never know you might think it's fine to use as some people do. I got one of those bottles with that welder I swapped, but have not used it so I cant comment on it. Did you read the fine print in the ebay add? Ideal for that quick welding job might get between 12 to 20 minutes continuous welding/bottle I think it would be cheaper to stick to renting, or you will be throwing bottles over your shoulder like spray paint cans on a full size job. The line to use it is similar in looks to air line off air shocks on a car. Dave |

I use Air Products for my shield gas. Last time I renewed the 5 year contract it was around £140. BOC won't even consider it unless you are a company. Dave. |

I've used CO2 as well as the Argon mix, and the CO2 works well. I bought the bottle, but its the same one they use for beer, and its cheap. |
