ok I have most of a 10 pound spool left over form this years course in welding
its 71-gs I have a small mig at home that uses the 2 pound spools. is there a way to put the flux core wire on to a small mig wheel or make a axile for the larger spool to run ti on a smaller mig welder?

Depends on your welder. Most small MIG's have room in the driver compartment for a large spool. You can go to your local welding supplier or some home improvement places (Lowes, Home Depot) and get an adapter for about $5. It's just a piece of plastic that goes in the larger spool so it fits on your small welder's axle.
