I wouldnt use it. It doesnt have the strenth that mild steel wire does. It should only be used for non structual welds. Its good for body panels etc. Also its aprox $12 a pound.

NO PLEASE do not use it for anything but sheetmetal. I got 44 lbs off ebay for 20 bucks and picked it up local on my way home from work...Bob

G'day mate. Not to sound like a wise guy, but they do have welding outfitters in OZ. It seems that it would be easier (and cheaper) to get supplies in Australia. The last package I shipped (last week) cost $16 USD per pound. Just my thoughts.
