I only use dual sheild on very heavy/ super high strength applications.
Atutt is right in the fact that the welds are super high penatration, and look awesome after you clean off the slag...but since they are so high heat and penatration it has a tendency to cause a lot of heat distortion, so dual sheild is not for all applacations in my opinion.

Correct. I used it a lot in the construction indusrty. I've used for cranes and heavy equipment machinery... Like this gian ass (like 20ft) plow blade. It was almost 4'' thick in some spots.

For like body sheet metal I have heard real good things about silicon bronze wire for bodywork since it is soft and easier to grind, and it has great anti-corrosion charactoristics.

Up here anything over 3/16'' is technically "plate".
I only mentioned the dual shield flux core to open up some closed minds about flux core.
