gas to use?

[chumly]

i'm going to use gas to start with,which gas would be best c25 or 75 argon 25co2? i am open for sugestions or comments. looking at an 80cu.ft. tank. chumly.

[Al T.]

C25 is 25% CO and 75% argon.

Its what I use and the Miller GMAW book also recomends it.

[chumly]

i feel like that was a dumb question,i'll ask one more, at thiesens i noticed they handle k-t industries wire. is this good wire? who is it made by? chumly.

[Al T.]

Any question finds a home here, keep asking and don't stop.

Not sure about the k-t industries brand, I'm new at this too!

I've heard, stick with the brand names or it won't stick. sorry

You could use 98% argon 2% o2 and spray for good wetting it burns in real good (not for sheet metal)

CHUMBLY..........NO DUMB QUESTIONS HERE, THE ONLY DUMB ONES ARE THE ONES THAT DON'T GET ASKED..........IF MONEY IS THE ISSUE ON GAS TYPICALLY THE MORE BLENDS THE MORE EXPENSIVE, AS I RECALL THE LEAST EXPENSIVE GAS OUT THERE IS CO2....................HOWEVER CO2 TENDS TO BURN A LITTLE HOTTER THAN SAY ARGON/CO2..........................KEEP THE QUESTIONS COMMING THERE ARE A MULTITUDE OF EXPERIENCED FOLKS ON HERE TO HELP OUT.......................ROCK

We all got on him for doing that, but we now accept it that when ROCK types in all caps...it's not yelling, just good common sense help for all us weldors. He is the exception to the rule. And that's OK.
