Buy good quality welding wire, like Lincoln Innershield.

I think as far as modern day mig welding goes you can get the hang of it pretty quick. The cleaner the stuff is the better. But also as far as just burning some stuff together, sometimes it might look a little rough and still hold pretty good. Practice on all your "non critical" stuff first.

over this side of the pond, we call that gorilla welding, ugly but strong, it's all I do, self taught from you tube and redneck computer geek a few weeks ago
