I've never used easy grind (yet), but I've got some silicon/bronze, .030". You can hammer and dolly it quite a bit and it finishes nice. The only problem I've come across, is it doesn't hold up well on the edge of a panel that can vibrate. It will crack. Otherwise I recommend it. You will notice it is goldish in color and sounds a little different when welding. I hate ER70S. Hard a rock. If you are intersted, the alloy is SIB and made by Harris Welco.
