There's a reason that this stuff is not very common...it's cause you don't need it.
Experienced welders will typically seldom use wire less than 1/16". I used to weld 3/8" tubing with .035" wall thickness on a daily basis. I used 1/16" wire.
You're better off to use 1/16" or larger and learn to use it. Otherwise, you will be feeding in 4 inches of wire just to make one inch of weld.
