Who Replied?No get the right wire and gas or you'll be sorry. The flux core will make a mess. Its a dirty weld. I welded up my DP with it and it was a mess. :angry: You may want to tack everything in place with the flux core then take it off and have it all tigged up.
OR
I cant remember but you may need different wire and gas for aluminized metal. Call you local welding shop...1# of wire is cheap and you may be able to rent a tank of gas....Call around...I dont think you'll have much success with the flux core though.

thats what i was afraid of. Im not concerend with the cost of the wire, i know it isn't that expensive. The issue is taht i dont have the hook up needed to run gas, and cant afford it right now. I would MUCH rather use gas. Do you know of any welding stores in the naperville/dg area? If not, where do you go.

Terrace welding supply in Lombard, I go to them for a lot of stuff. If you are doing a single project, you may just want to rent one. I have a little Lincoln electric welder that runs off of 110, with a gas set-up. It's really handy, but it's whimpy. To do good welds, you really need a higher powered set-up. Even with gas, I have a hard time getting good (clean welds). I use a wire That works with or without the gas, but I had to modify my welder to fit the giant spool on (it only comes in 10# and above). Even when you pop for a gas set-up, the conversion kits come with a 20# bottle and it doesn't last too long. So you constantly need to fill it at 20-30 bucks a pop. Many of the welding supplies will lease or rent bottles that are larger.
