Thanks Jim sorry , I should have been more specific this is when I took it out of the packaging and held it firmly in my hand the tension on the wire itself began to unravel, without the spool moving.

How do you keep the wire from unraveling from the wheel

I recently started using mig and read an article that if you use CO2 your weld will be sloppy. Then another article said it’s not the gas it’s that CO2 is wasted and is forced out to quickly, and you should restrict the flow of the gas with a smaller diameter gas line. Any ideas?
