Packaging & Storage
Each can is hermetically sealed at the factory to keep electrodes dry and ready to weld. After opening, store the can in a clean, dry environment and reseal between uses to preserve performance.
Recommended amperage ranges are general guidelines; optimal settings vary with base-metal thickness, joint design, and welding position.
