I have an arc welder and have been trying to weld a 1ft x 4" patch in the trunk. I am not going to buy a new welder for just this patch so I need some advise. The stick keeps sticking to the metal every time I try to weld. Every now and then I get a arc struck and am able to weld. If I hold the arc for more then a second It burns thru the metal. If I raise the power it arc with no problem but burns right thru. As I lower the power is when the sticking starts. Ant advise?
