I have maple, oak ,balsa, and tiger wood  wire.  It's really all in the settings.  Ya gotta get the amps just right to soften the lignun and facilitate good penetration.

 

So the glue flux is inside the core of the wood thereby eliminating the need of a shielding gas? 

I posted this on another post somewhere...

Working at a textile factory I found out that commercial white

starch is the same thing as white wood glue...

We got it in 55 gallon drums and it even smelled like glue. 

What was it used for at the textile factory?  Just as a starch, or was it used as a glue for some purpose?

My daughter used starch on her step fathers underwear.  Seems she was upset at him about having to do his laundry and this was solution #1.

 

Solution #2 was shall we say EPIC.

 

Put Icy Hot in the crotch area of every pair of underwear.  Guy thought he had a severe rash and went to the doctor.  To my knowledge he never figured it out.  Now when she told me I almost wrecked the truck.  I drove 20 miles with tears of laughter!!

 

I of course did the proper Dad thing and explained this is not how we handle life's issues.  While trying not to laugh and look serious.  I failed!

Ingenious,  but you should feel sorry for the guy. Remember, he's married to your X.

Nah, you don't get to change the location of picking up the kids to a cemetery threaten me and then demand my respect. 

Made me laugh though.  He really didn't like that.
