Q. What is the best .030 MIG wire to use for welding floor pans
in a '66 Mustang? (Submitted by: jerrell locklear from castle hayne nc)


A. I would use an ER70S-6 for your project. It has more deoxidizers and should wet out nicer.

Hi Newbie here

I'm going to be mig welding on my '66 Mustang Convert also.
Can you kindly tell just WHY ER70S-6 is BEST to use
Is this a SOLID CORE WIRE or FLUX CORE WIRE


THANK YOU

It's a solid wire. Shielding gas is used with it.

Cored wires are designated "ExxT-yy, where the "T" means "tubular". Solid wires are designated "ERxxS-y", where the "S" means "solid". In both cases, the "yy" is the indicator of the wires chemical content. The numbers are called the "AWS Classification" (AWS = American Welding Society).

Actually, if it's a matter of opinion, I'd say ESAB's Spoolarc Easy Grind (it does not have an AWS classification, like ER70S-6) is the best auto body work solid wire.
