      I've been using straight CO2 on my MIG machine since I bought it .   
   Leaves more spatter* than C25 , but most of my projects are function   
   over form and looks ain't near as important as function .   
      *I've been told that a spray of PAM lessens the difficulty of spatter   
   removal . Haven't tried it so ...

   I found that if everything is right (by luck) pushing the gun gives a smooth   
   wide shallow puddle with little spatter, fine for patching rust holes in   
   thin Honda fenders. IIRC the gun was at the push angle but didn't move   
   because each weld was brief to avoid melting through. I used 0.023" wire and   
   straight CO2.
