I just tried it today. It worked OK, but isn't a huge difference over
regular 0.023" or 0.025"
wire. It seems to throw a bit more spatter. If you get everything just
right, it will run a
nice flat bead (but so will regular 0.023 or 0.025). Seems like it
might grind just a tad
easier.
I'll keep trying it--maybe it gets better with experience--but, overall,
I'd say it's not worth
the cost difference (3X reg wire).
