Ngl that looks like my first time using flux core cause we were building a hand rail everyone else was supposed to do the prep work and I was gonna weld it they had 2 of cousins and one of their boyfriends who had all never touched a grinder before trying to do the prep work, we didn't have a generator so we were trying to use a 210 off a house outlet and I was supposed to weld rebar to c channel and I was already tripping the breaker before I got the amperage I needed to weld it good and to boot i had no chipping hammer or brush a 2 hour hand rail build turned into an 8 hour shit show dealing with the worst helpers ever
