Are you keeping the gun still in a straight line? or are you "stitching" ?
When MIG welding you often have to either stitch the weld like: \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ or do it in circular patterns, which will result in that roll of nickles look if you are doing it right. OOOOOOOOOOO Or you can manually "pulse" weld by welding a small patch, stop, welding another small patch, stop, etc... and overlap the patches slightly. also, depending on the welder (if you have infite adjustments) you can often just slow the wire down a little, and add a little voltage untill you get the desired result. Hope that helps some, Tony |
