    Is the stuff hot...?? Did they tell you why they got rid of it? Somebody ditching a couple grand of product for free sounds like a score is getting settled. Good luck in getting rid of it. I hope it doesn't come back to bite you in the a**...

    Yeah got it from an iron worker. Was leftover from a job site and was gonna be trashed (WHY!?!?!). Agree it sounded a little too good but turns out was just my lucky day.

    It looks like 'Fluxcore' MIG wire. I have worked on a few jobs where we had like 5-25 rolls of wire left over from the job/contract.

    The 5 were fluxcore 1.4mm and the 25 were 100% Aluminium 1.2mm, those grades had no other use in the workshop so they just got stuck in a corner taking up space untill a forklift damaged the crate. In the end they got sold as Alumnium scrap.
