Re: 55 Wagon Progress

If it's easier to find the -7, actually now that I've used the EZ grind, I prefer the -7. Both have nice flat welds, but the EZ tends to leave a patch of soot around the weld, and is more prone to splatter. I just think the -7 was cleaner. In planishing, comparing last night's roof repair to the earlier fender shaves using .035 -7 wire, to me the -7 appears to planish easier.. So if I had the choice, I would choose -7. If availability is an issue, either should be better than the harder welds of the -6 wire..
