Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
I got some of the panels in for the jeep and was wondering what to weld them in with.
I have a flux welder with .030" wire. Should i just turn the welder real low and use it or should i get something else like carbon steel or just a lighter wire like .023"
Still new to the welding terms.

Hate to say it and sound like a “noob” but it rally all depends on your welding style and how you are used to welding.

Also practice on some scrap i had laying around and they are pretty solid.

.030" wire will work fine, and he said he has a flux welder. .030" is the smallest diameter wire for a flux machine (no gas). If you have shielding gas you can purchase .023" solid wire. If you do use C25 gas (most common) you can pickup .030" powdered metal wire called “twenty gauge” made by JW Harris. This wire works great on exhaust and body work and makes it almost impossible to burn through

Really who makes it?
Flux core wire sucks for body work because it burns too hot. Get yourself some c25 and solid .023 or .030 wire
