Ok, so my dad taught me to arch (stick) weld about 10 years ago and I haven’t welded much since.
I got a $200.00 craftsman wire feed welder 110V about 3 years ago and barley used it, now I'm installing new frame rails and an entire new truck floor in my 65 and I have ran out of the wire that came w/ the welder. I'm now on the second frame rail.
I go to home depot w/o doing any research and buy some more welding wire but I cant weld worth a $hit w/ this wire. So I start doing my research and it looks as if I purchased a solid wire when I should have purchased a flux core wire? Am I right? I have no gas attachment to my welder.
Thanks!
