Hi, I have been working on some projects with my Lincoln Pro-Core 100 welder. It is the flux core model. I was wanting some opinions from some other welders about the best flux core wire. If you have an opinion please share it.
thanx.

I've used flux core off and on but dont realy like it, puts off to much spatter and I dont think the weld is all that nice looking. I like using gas, I feel like it gives me better control over my weld.

I like fluxcore and use it quite often, but it has it's place and for some things C25 or CO2 and solid wire are much better. Anyway thats my story and I am stickin' to it.

The best deal out there is at Home Depot, of all places. If your little guy will handle .035" wire, they sell Lincoln Innershield E71T-11 for $40 for 10#. No welding shop or online source comes near that deal that I've seen yet.

Size?
What size of wire would be best for 1/8 thick angle?

Either .030" or .035" will be fine for that. If you do 16-ga, like thin tubing, you'll like the .030" much better, though.

I use the home depot 0.35 Flux core wire in my Clark 180 all the time and have never had a problem with it.
