Body Repair-gasless MIG

[bj40baz]

I have a stick welder for the heavy work and have been contemplating buying a Gasless Mig for the thinner body repairs , but are they any good ? what do you guys think ?

I would not screw around with flux core wire and try to do body work...but that is just me.

yep....

did some of my first welding on light guage stuff this week- C25 gas and .024 solid wire made it pretty easy...

The 'gasless mig' or fluxcore wire welding is too hot for thin metal as in body panels and the flux causes it to spatters badly. That spatter could take as much time to remove as it would take to smooth an entire mig welded joint.
Not worth the hassle at all.

You can reverse the polarity and that will cut-down splatter 50% on flux core... if your welder allows one to do so.... some don't..
