why you using 0.8 may i ask? 0.6 is enough for panels

because the welder came with .8mm wire and ive just always bought that

would .6mm be better?

Just be careful with your heat and you should be fine bud,is it gasless?
I always use 0.6,it did my hockley plates fine also

haha yeah ive been told about the gas/gasless differences

when i stop spending cash on the nova ill get myself a gas 1 but i only paid £40 for this one from someone on here im sure and its done me fine

plus if i can weld with a gasless one when i get a gas one it should makes things alot easier lol
