Compared stick welding vs fluxcore on a Friday job in Gary
Had to weld some cracked steel beams at an old mill in Gary last week. Usually I go with stick for outdoor work but decided to try fluxcore for speed. The fluxcore was easier to start but the slag cleanup was way more hassle than I expected. Stick gave me better penetration on the thick beam and I finished faster without chipping between passes. Anyone else find fluxcore slower on thick steel despite the hype?

Spent more time chipping than welding on fluxcore myself once.
