    Straight argon... all info in the picture and description. My flux core days are over, I've had enough of that stuff to do me for the rest of my life.

    I went back to your first post and read you were using argon. I did read it but that was a few days ago and I forgot what was in it. How did the .045 wire work?

    I wish my flux core days were over too. But I do a fair amount of welding outside and in most cases the flux core is faster than stick welding everything.

    Thanks, I'll try his tips. He makes the best welding videos out there and he's the reason I bought my first Everlast machine.
