Most of me is in IL but my hearts in Alaska
I am a stick welding kind of guy I like how convenient it is and I’m used to it
But I bought a cheap little harbor, freight flux wire welder just to get an idea about wire welding
I have used gas wire welders and I really don’t like them
So what are your thoughts tips hassles, etc. with flux wire welders compared to stick welders?
If I’m going to weld up a tube and fabric tripacer style, would I be better off to stick with a stick?
