Hi Folks,
I recently got some great advice in this forum and switched to .023 MIG wire and my inexpensive Eastwood welding machine has never worked better, and it's several years old.
So, I am considering doing some stainless work, but I don't want to invest in another gas bottle dedicated to a stainless gas mix.
The logical move, I thought, was to go with stainless flux core. I headed over to Amazon, but no luck. I checked all of the usual welding supply sites, but nothing. Does .023 Stainless flux Core exist?
Thanks.

I've never seen it. I doubt it's commercially available.

if it did, I would guess it would be $$$$

Call Lincoln and ask, they are there to help!!

Don’t know about SS but I have .023 flux core wire for mild steel.

the other issue is if you don't have gas, what do you use for shielding the back side?

No kidding! Where do you find that ? I’ve never seen anything under 030.

Is it E71T-11 or E71T-GS?

I don’t remember where I got it. But I threw out the last pound off the roll because it was so hard to get it to feed good in my 210mp. The only thing I didn’t try was using a Teflon liner. I bumped up to the over .030 but even that It’s kind of a pain for what I do. Once the last half of that role is gone I’m just gonna switch back to straight wire and use gas all the time.
