So I am about to break in my new mig and was wondering what people use to lubricate the sleave when I first feed the wire in ?
I'm not sure if your meant to use anthing due to containaments in the weld but thought i'd ask to see what others did.
Cheers nick

No lube.
The sleeve has a nylon liner whitch does all the lubing needed.
Just make sure of cleaning up the end of the wire with a file before you start to feed it in so it doesn't score the liner.
