Re: Welder question

are gas welds stronger than fluxcore welds?? yes
enough to make a dramatic difference?? no
are gas welds prettier to look at than fluxcore?? yes but only before you clean the flux off the other

we use a mig that is gas capeable but we use the fluxcore wire because it is easier to weld and yes you do have to clean them up with a wire wheel on a grinder but who really cares, its all about the end result anyway

btw, fwiw, what i say is coming from my dad that has 30+ years of welding expierence and has done it for a living most of his life
