Great input, I have used wire fed flux core, Mig, arc, and brazed and by far the easiest to use was wire fed flux, it is how I learned and helped prepare me for later practices. If all you have to do is squeez the trigger and move the gun you can concentrate on your movement speed, angle, and distance from the work. Ya you have to clean it up more but when you are learning, thats when you will see were you went wrong and can problem solve from there. For example, as you are grinding off all the boogers you will think, wow, this sucks, how can I avoid this in the future? And , perhaps next time a little more prep work will cause fewer boogers and your work practices can then improve. BTW cold chisels make the quickest work of steel boogers.
