It can also be argued that a good flux core weld is stronger than a mig weld on the same type material. That's a fact most people either overlook or don't know. And it is a fact. Even still, I prefer using a shielding gas of "some sort" as it sure keeps the spatter down. I'm pretty fair skinned and cannot STAND getting burned.
I'm not fair skinned and I don't like getting burnt! Unfortunately my tight *** can't afford a gas shield welder or I would have had one... I'm just forced to eat hot lead and do with what I have...
