Mig welder

Does your Lincoln have the hook up for gas? I also use a little Lincoln and found the flux core leaves quiet a bit of splatter/mess (The welds are solid though) and it works well on dirty metal. For cleaned up panels/floor welds I used solid core wire with gas. Gives a much cleaner weld. That said, I am still newish to welding so someone with more experience will surely provide better info.
