Re: flux core mig welding (projectTeG)
The only kinda available. It is called cored wire or something like that, I have a little spool at the shop. Never used it, never bought it so I don't know the trade name. Unless you are welding outside in really windy conditions, I would by the gas regulator and a bottle of gas. It will be mo' betta' in the end. In fact flux core wire is more expensive than the gas wire.

pretty much.
I've welded stainless- but you have to be careful. Flux core runs very hot and can burn through very easily.
