Best thing that could have been invented while using co2 gas on a mig .before i bought this product i had to stop and clear splatter from the shield/ shroud every 10 mins. it was a night mare both for tip and shroud life but also getting work done . ive been welding for a week now using the gell and have not had to stop once the tip and shroud look brad new just as they were a week ago when i fitted them new . so i would say to any one . do not think it is some thing you do not need or that its expensive if you do a lot of welding like i am at the moment you will not only save in wasted time but also in tips and shrouds. and get a much neater weld . im so pleased that i invested in a tin of this , you can get smaller tins but this is the right size for me as to how long pot life i i do not know maybe some one can tell me
It makes the gas shroud slightly oily but it makes removing weld splatter a breeze, after dipping the end of the gun in the gel, when you next begin to weld, The residue will momentarily affect the weld quality, other than that it's a very useful thing to carry.
