Prior wire size 0.025, standard MIG wire, non-flux
The J.W. Harris comes only in 0.030
The J.W. Harris 20 gauge wire has a flux/powder core but you use it with a gas
shielding, 25%/75%. This stuff is grey and my regular MIG wire is copper
colored. Not sure why it works, but I got good results. If I practice for
a bit I think this stuff will work well. I paided $11 for a 2lb spool.
The guy at the welding place said I was the only one to ever call or purchase
the wire. He said that he was really impressed with the salesman's demo, that
is why they took a case of the stuff.
