all correct and the reason i used gasless wire is because that was what was in the mig when i got it back from my mate....because over the years i havent done much welding nor had the need to i let my rental on the bottles go as it was expensive...

i actually became pretty good at using a mig with normal wire and no gas...not good for panelwork though..
