Here a problem we had a few years ago, I work for a new company now and dont use flux core anymore, but the problem has always stuck in my mind, when we welded mild steel, either sandblasted or raw, after welding it with flux core wire, we alway got what we called "worm tracks" on the surface of the weld, we tried different gasses, different angles on the mig, and could never get away from them, the actually looked like fossils in the surface of the weld. anyone else ever had this problem or found a cure for it. i was thinking of getting flux core for my mig at home for some projects that the smooth weld would be great for, but was alway worried about going threw this problem again.
