I'm using .030 L56. Not sure if you got it, but the MIG conversion is well worth it. I tried flux core and did ok, but the results with the MIG setup were much better. I typically use 75/25 mix.

For the most part, I keep the unit on the "C" heat setting, and about 3 1/2 on the wire speed. This does very well on material about 1/8" thick. Wire speed goes to up to almost 4 for vertical down and overhead.
