Default Flexcore?
Not sure if thats how you spell it but is this type of welding/welder bad to use with body work?

Ive heard mixed opinions on this so i was hopoing to get a more educated one from someone.

Thank you in advance

fluxcore. it's a wire that supplies it's own shielding gas (no tank needed). you can use it, but your welds will not look as clean. there will be lots of splatter and lots of smoke.

fluxcore will work, but is far from ideal.

best of luck with your project.

i heard something about it causing the metal to rust or something after its all done?

Does that not sound right?
