Mig wire type

Don if you look at the labels on the wire the hardness of the wire is noted by Sn where n= some number. If you just ask for MIG wire what you normally will get is S6 which is hard and often cracks if you tack something or if you weld it and try to hammer and dolly the work.. Years ago I used to get S0 for body work and it bends without breaking. The Easy Grind you get now is like S1 or 2. I do a fair amount of metal work and much prefer this softer wire for body panels. If you TIG weld, the fit up of the pieces is crucial (as you already know) to not using much filler rod. Always ask the welding store professionals about what you should use and explain your experience level. In my opinion for what I do, if using the MIG, the Easy Grind is worth the extra money. You can easily swap it out for stronger wire if you are doing something structural. Dual shield wire is very expensive but is twice as strong if you are going for strength. Good luck with your choices.
