Some food for thought if you are thinking of using the 0.090" wire.
The wire should match the feed rollers, liner and the contact tip. A quick search suggests that for 1/16 ... .0625 ... was the biggest tip I could find. Try looking at the spool again and see if you may have misread the label. Something like 0.9mm, which is .035", would be a much more reasonable size for any kind of machine that did not require a forklift to move.
If what you have is really 0.9mm\.035 wire then check you welder to ensure the rollers, liner and contact tip are correct. At least on my welder there is a set of rollers for .025", a set for .030-.035", and a set for .045".
Note also that we're talking steel wire, not aluminum, which appear to come in .052" and 1/16", but I don't think you need to worry about that as aluminum will not go well with CO2, steel liners and a push gun anyway.
