I suspect that this is a misprint and that I need to get a larger roll. Just in case it isn't, does anyone have a 205 that has figured out how to make this work? Is it possible that there are different 2lb formats?
Just need a piece of pvc tubing cut to length to center roll if I remember right. But if you are using 2 lb rolls, you bought the wrong welder for something like this. That might last 10 minutes of welding.
