BLUE DEMON308LFC-O X .035 X 1# Spool Stainless Steel Flux cored gasless Welding Wire by Blue Demon

Fab and has allowed me to do tricky welds to Stainless Steel in windy situations where gas would not work, pricey but excellent.

EXCELENTE. MUY BUEN PRODUCTO.

I was skeptical about this product, but since getting gas here in Orlando is expensive, I thought I'd try this out. It all boils down to your setting. I have a small Lincoln ProMig 140. Nothing special at 110V. After trial and error, I found that this wire feeds best at speed 4.5, maybe 5 out of 10, which is fairly fast. The puddle works best welding straight at the bead and not at an angle or pulling/pushing the weld, and letting the puddle just run and melt as you go fast. I have my welder turned all the way up to D setting for maximum power. Keeping the gun right on the weld, using a fast straight-line motion without stopping works best. I find that if you go slower, it will burn holes in your SS. If you go power bang lower than the highest, it WILL NOT penetrate... so fast and hot is the only way to go. You're not gonna lay down dimes with this unless you have A LOT of patience... but that being said, with a PRECISE hand and a steady motion, you can weld stainless steel using this just fine. DIrty welds aren't that big of a problem. Nothing an angle grinder can't take care of.This wire actually make an interesting puddle and if you get the hang of it, you can actually make a pretty frigging nice weld with it. Like I said, it's not going to win any prizes in the esthetics department, but after getting the hang of this wire, my welds are surprisingly strong. Don't listen to bad reviews of this wire. PRECISION and PATIENCE, and you have a good product!!!REVISION 1 @ 12/02/2019 - I ordered another spool yesterday and when it arrived, it looked like half the spool was already gone. Check out the pics side by side; Looks not even close to the amount in the listing picture! Is that normal because it's based on weight?? Dunno!!

I am not a welder, just learning. Could not get the proper wire feed , amps/voltage and travel speed down pat before I ran out of wire. Lots of burn thru and splatter, that's my fault. Nevertheless, nice shiny stainless steel beads while trying to weld on cheap 409 stainless .060" wall exhaust tubing. Will purchase again when skills increase. Rather expensive for a 1 lb. roll of flux-core wire, perhaps price will come down in the bear future!
