Bought a 90A HF flux core MIG welder. Found it mostly burnt up sheet metal. It is probably okay for welding thicker metal, but 18 or 22GA, nope.
So, I just bought an Eastwood 135 MIG welder. Heard a lot of good feedback about them. Now I have something that can use gas to cool the weld, but I need a gas bottle. Eastwood recommends 75% Argon and 25% carbon dioxide, I think. Anyways, HF has carbon dioxide bottles for $100. My question, for now, is can I use that bottle for the shielding gas or do I need something else?
TIA
