Default wd40

The problem with WD 40 on welding wire is you may introduce porosity or carbon inclusions in to the weld. Its recommended that you clean a joint to be welded from rust/slag/oils/dirt etc to get a good clean weld. But the dry wipe is recommended. Most higher end machines have one included.
