I'll try it with the wire you described. What I have been using is the .030" wire.
Although I have the inner Teflon sleeve for aluminum, my welder is currently set up for welding steel as I have a couple projects for work to do. Switching it is a PITA, which is why I was thinking of going to a spool gun.
So when I get back to teaching myself, I'll try your suggestions and see how it goes. Thanks for the advice!

You must have a fairly new Lincoln machine ( Power Mig 140 ?? ) then if it has the capabilities for option Magnum 100SG spool gun. It is well worth the $150 - $200 that they want for it.
I have used every Lincoln / Miller / Binzel / CK etc spool gun and push pull gun for aluminum and the best way to sum it it with the 100SG gun is that it works far better than it should for the money you pay
Good luck !
