Never heard or considered using a "wiper pad" on the wire. Is this something you invented? I'd like a little more information on this, sounds logical to me.
I still use the #2 rolls, but got an adaptor for a #10 roll. The #2 are good if you are trying different wire sizes to see what you like using. I'm not so sure I like 0.25 wire. It lays down a pretty lookin' bead, but virtually no penetration which is good on sheet metal, not so good on thicker metals.
Seeing the weld around The gas shroud is still a problem for me and welding down in a tight space will take some learning.
