Best for a part you will paint
The top pick is WEICON part 11700400, two 400 ml cans at about £27.98. The listing says silicone-free, allows burnishing, galvanising, anodising or painting without special cleaning, and gives about 15 cm on the nozzle and about 25 cm on the workpiece, roughly 10 cm each side of the seam. The maker sheet says store the can below 50°C. SLV-tested is the maker's claim, not a British Standard or a UK safety certificate.
The amazon.co.uk line is 4.7 from 1,456 ratings. Of the first 50 review texts, two are from the United Kingdom: one on 22 February 2026 likes it on stainless steel, and one on 7 September 2025 says most spatter is easier to remove, not eliminated, and dearer than a hardware-store can. Skip WEICON if you only dip nozzles or want the cheapest single can.
Best value for a clogged MIG nozzle
The best value is the SUPER6 1490 tip dip, 500 g at about £9.38, for the MIG nozzle, shroud and contact tip, including gasless MIG. It is 4.7 from 127 ratings, and all 18 captured review texts are from the United Kingdom. Reviewers brush spatter off with a brass brush, including one RSJ job above 300 A, and several say the tin lasts if you dip often. One reviewer wanted better technique. The paste did not provide it.
Silicone is not stated. Do not treat the tin as a paint-safe film. When the tip clogs and the steel is a separate job, keep the tin for the tip. That split is the anti-spatter spray vs tip dip page. Skip the tin if every surface will be painted, or if you hoped a dip would correct wire speed or voltage. A single dunk at the start of a long bead is the habit the comments say fails.
The cheap aerosol is a different bet
SUPER6 1357 is the cheapest aerosol here, about £7.99 for 300 ml, solvent-free on the title, 5.0 from 4 ratings. The only captured review, on 24 June 2024, says the can had not been used. Silicone and flammability are not stated. It is not the top pick, and it is not the evidenced nozzle product. Norsemen Safety listed the same code at £2.70 including VAT, so read the can for silicone before you spray a part you will paint. A solvent-free title is not a silicone-free film.
Chemodex, about £14.92 for 2 x 300 ml, does say silicone-free and still wants a white-spirit clean. It is 5.0 from 3 ratings. Too thin a file to replace WEICON when the rating count is why you pay more.
Packs to leave on the shelf
Kraken Bond's 2 x 12 oz pack is about £47.23, 4.6 from 181 ratings, with every captured review text from the United States and no silicone-free line. Leave it unless you already know the can.
Langley's 12-can case at about £40 and SWP's 12 x 300 ml at about £42.69 do not state a formula. The Langley 0.3 litre field does not say per can or per case. The 25 litre drum is about £66, water-based, with no silicone line and no reviews. SIP at about £10.99 and TYGRIS R221 at about £14.45 state a non-silicone or no-oils line and have no rating line. TYGRIS has a safety-data-sheet conflict with its non-flammable title, set out in the anti-spatter spray buying guide. HSE alert STSU1-2019 still applies: there is no known safe level of welding fume, so the top pick does not replace extraction or a mask.
Common questions
What is the best value if the MIG nozzle keeps clogging?
The SUPER6 1490 paste, 500 g at about £9.38, with 4.7 from 127 ratings and 18 UK reviews. Reviewers brush spatter off and say the tin outlasts spray if you dip often. Silicone is not stated, so do not use it as your paint-safe film. It will not repair a poor arc. One reviewer said exactly that.
Is the £7.99 SUPER6 can the best buy?
It is the cheapest aerosol in this capture, 300 ml, solvent-free on the title, 5.0 from 4 ratings. The only captured review had not used the can, and silicone is not stated. Trade sellers listed the same code nearer £2.70 including VAT. Treat it as a low-price single can you still have to read, not as the top pick or the best value for a clogged nozzle.
Why not the Kraken pack with 181 ratings?
The 4.6 from 181 is the amazon.co.uk star line, and every captured review text is from the United States. The listing does not say silicone-free. Reviewers quote a warning against steel and aluminium and some call it silicone. The pack is about £47.23, more than the WEICON pair. Those are reasons to leave it until you know the can, not reasons to call the star count a UK verdict.
Does 1,456 reviews mean UK welders wrote them?
No. The 4.7 from 1,456 is the amazon.co.uk rating line for WEICON. In the first 50 texts captured, two were posted from the United Kingdom and a large share were short comments from Germany. Use the count as a count. Use the two UK notes, including the one that says spatter is reduced rather than removed, as the local sample.
Is SLV-tested a British standard?
No. SLV-tested is WEICON's own claim on the listing. It is not a UK certification and it is not evidence that the spray replaces fume control. The useful lines on that page are silicone-free, the 15 cm and 25 cm distances, and the price of about £27.98 for two 400 ml cans.
