When I am MIG welding at college I dip the gun in a can of something quite often to stop the wire sticking.

Having just bought a Clark 151 welder what do I need to but ie what’s the stuff I dip the tip in called.

Too much wine tonight and I have to go to work in the morning

can of annti splatter spray, use it on the work and squirt into the nozzle

A little something a welding instructor once told me - anti-spatter spray is mostly oil , and burning oil fumes are highly carcinogenic
So be very sparing with it !

Mmmmmmm... dips

Who was it that used to say "The clue's in the name"?


I beleive it's called Tip Dip

eeek - didn't know about the splatter spray being oil!

I usually only coat the nozzle once every few uses, then let it dry / drip off + use the co2 feed to help remove excess.



Bought a huge spray bottle thingy (like a water mister) and hardly used any of it.)
