They also sell the Lincoln Weld-Pak 100, though not in
every store. Get that one either there, or at Princess Auto
if you have them in BC.
The ones with the flux in the wire work, but the welds are nearly
as pretty as a real gas shielded one. This is especially important
for bodywork, it means the difference between 10 minutes grinding
to clean up and 2 hours of bodywork to remove the splash and mounds.
The lincoln weld-pak is upgradeable to bottle-gas, a good place
to start.
