Blue Demon E71TGS .035 X 10# Spool Gasless Flux Core Welding Wire

Using this wire for outdoor welding. Running in a Lincoln SP-175 Plus using a knurled drive roller. Works well on "dirty" materials but has quite a bit of spatter depending on how "dirty" the material is. However, on well-prepared materials, spatter is at a minimum. Obviously, weld quality depends on more than the wire. The welds come out as I expect MY welds should. I have had no wire feed problems. Again, knurled roller. This wire, in my opinion, is an excellent choice. The price for a 2# spool was the final selling point after doing internet research. MADE IN THE USA is a bonus!

Been running this wire through a PW Mig 285 and burns great, minimal spatter and fills in gaps quite nice. Haven’t went below 1/8” material or higher then 3/8” but penetration on the 3/8 was great and no blow through filling gaps on thinner material. Spool came without cracks or damage I’ve seen a couple reviews about that I wouldn’t knock them for the shipping process. Would buy again

Great product, leaves a great welding pattern. With great penetration.

Works great on 110v and 220v welders. My 220 welder just ate this stuff up and looked clean, and BLUE!don't think it's USA made though... Got some rods from them that said made in Bangladesh while being advertised as USA made

Have not had any issues with this wire. I use it for Farm welding. It works and its cheap.

I bought this to use on some thicker metal that I didn't think really shielded gas was going to work well with. This was my first experience using a positive ground, high amperage weld and I was surprised by how easy it went and how well it welded. I was using this wire for a wood stove that had developed some cracks over the years and was consuming too much wood because of the air being pulled through the hairline cracks. It welded well, ground down nice and seems to be holding up just fine.

I'd rank Blue Demon welding wire in the top 3 of all the brands of wire I've run beads with.This wire feeds smoothly and lays down a nice clean bead. Spatter is minimal and easy to remove. This is my go-to wire for exhaust system repairs and other rusty dirty steel that can't be cleaned well enough for MIG.

So the good:Really, really solid penetration. If you're doing a kit build or something, where you've got a bunch of pieces already filleted and beveled, this stuff will whip it together faster than any gasless FCAW wire I've ever used. Tac welds on tight joints are a cinch. Also, for the price, it's pretty good—certainly better than its closest-priced competitor here in the US, HF's Vulcan.The bad:You really, REALLY don't want to try to do any build up with this stuff, and when it spatters, it spatters BAD. Really the only way to deal with gaps is to do really fast and light stitches, wait for it to cool, clean, and take another pass. After four or so tries like this, you can fill in small gaps. Normally, that wouldn't be so bad, but I honestly found this to be a nightmare to clean. The slag itself isn't much of an issue, but it leaves brown powder everywhere that seems stickier than what I'm used to, and the bbs really dig into the surrounding metal. It's also the first wire I've had that made full-on bubbles when I was welding. They ended up looking like hatched eggshells or something.Overall, I think Blue Demon is shooting for a flux wire that offers MIG-quality welds for hobbyists. It's really quick for perfectly mated joints, but if you're used to staring at a puddle, it soaks, globs, and sticks to everything *but* -itself- in a way that makes for some really unpleasant welding. At least in my experience, Forney's E71T works a little better for well-prepped galvanized tubing, at the cost of poorer penetration. Was excited to try BD's stainless wire, but now I'm a bit hesitant. If I do, I will be sure to make sure I've got all my joints as tight as possible before I give it a go.

Very pleased with the product thank you

Works fine in my welder, a little more splatter than I would like but other than that it's fine.

Me gusto el precio y la calidad del producto recibi lo que se oferto y tenia buen funcionamiento quise comprar otro pero lo aubieron casi al doble del precio al que lo compre

good wire...this is my second spool of this wire...of.045...gonna buy some .035 for thinner welding...

Ce produit fonctionne très bien. Le flux est relativement facile à nettoyer puisqu'il n'y a qu'une très mince couche. La soudure semble très forte. Ce produit dégage beaucoup de fumée, veuillez bien aéré.
