I saw this this morning and I thought it might be of interest to some of the 
listers.  Anybody ever use the stuff?  NFI, etc.  Some of the post further on 
also claim it works well.  The way I blow holes through stuff it might help.

Here is the first post in the thread (I love that word)

"Have any of you guys tried the Perfect Circle brand welding wire called 
twenty Gauge? This is a JW HARRIS product which is an old and trusted outfit. 
In all of my 32 years of welding I have never seen anything that even comes 
close to this for welding light sheet metal. when the salesman first let me 
try this wire I was amazed with what it will do. It is a .030 flux cored 
welding wire that will weld body panels with ease. This wire uses c/25 gas 
and is not to be confused with useless(or is that supposed to be gassless 
wire)? This wire is supposed to weld down to .015 thick metal and up to .188 
in one pass. I have tried it on body panels and I will never go back to 
using .025 solid wire! As good as this wire is on thin panels they have two 
sizes of wire that are even smaller that I have not tried yet. The bead is 
very smooth and there is NO spatter. No I dont work for JW HARRIS I am just 
really sold on this stuff and wanted to share it with you."
