I like Lincoln wire.  It works perfectly and both Home Depot and Lowes carry it. They also have a lot of turnover so it'll be fresh. LOL

I used the lincoln stuff too and it worked okay not a whole lot of splatter but still some but welded okay.

Cost of handjobs in the ghetto - $10/ea. Cost of anti-splatter spray cans - $4/ea. Its cheaper than a handjob, and almost as good. Awsome deal IMO.

Now if you get it from a ghetto hardware store, you might even get the can+handjob for under $10... O0

Well at one point they did. I work in rentals and our pile of lincoln has always had a can to go with it. IIRC my store reduced the amount of welding stuff slightly.

The best flux core wire to get, its called ultra-core its made by lincoln welds nice and if your using Co2 or 75/25 gas it welds nice
