i think you just use pure argon..im not positive on that..your welder supply place should be able to point you in the right direction..i just remember having a separate small bottle we used when we wanted to mig with that wire...

for silicon bronze MIG it is 100% argon

Lab metal is used a lot in the powder coating industry. They make a high heat version that will withstand the heat when they bake the coating. I have never used it but I heard it has a very low shelf life
