I just do a lot more TIG of SS than MIG... but you have to have it in "inventory" for those times when that's what you need. I kind of think that way.... I'm a "better to have it and not need it - than need it and not have it" kinda guy.
Somebody on here would surely trade you for the spool or buy the spool from you... maybe one of the shops... or maybe google the welding shops around you and see if they'd trade out?

Hahaa. Well, I got the stuff, three 25lb spools of it for a very good price at a swapmeet many years ago. I dont MIG weld with it. But I do TIG weld. So I made up all the parts for a wire straightener but have yet to assemble it. The idea was to have the spool mounted in a box with the straightener mounted to the box and just be able to strip off a two foot section of wire as needed. I was just trying to put the stuff to use. Here is a similar wire straightener, there are many variations to it. I was curious about the use of helium. Now I KNOW!! Ha.... JR
