I have a Hobart 130 wire welder. I am pretty handy with it.
I am in the middle of a big project and all of a sudden my welds are starting to look bad. I am using flux core wire. The welds are finished looking shiny instead of having the gas residue from the flux core and some of them have some what I would call bubbling in parts. Looks like the flux is not doing its job.
I first thought I got some bad wire but after changing same results.
Thoughts?
