#metoo 🤣 although I’ve not used one for “years” I’m still very much learning.

I've got the 130en that i bought second hand for hardly any money, slapped flux cored wire into it and been practicing when I get chance.

i just finished some drop out cat sections for my s4 and they are the best looking welds I’ve done so far, I’ve made some right manky welds whilst I’ve been learning though 🤣 nothing has fallen apart at least so that’s a plus point, and I’ve become really handy with an angle grinder and a flap disc at times 🤣




I think gas is much cleaner for welding though, I’ve only had a small go with gas, but I do want to get a bottle for doing some stuff, problem is I’m not welding all the time so the gassless wire works out better.
