Welding woes...frustrating!!

Weld is to cold, turn up the amps. Also, you need a steadier hand.. IMO
You dont want any sputtering while welding, needs to be constant welding. No stopping while running a bead....
The welder is as high as it will go on amps. It has a high and low it's on high. Lol. The steady hand thing is on me it was burning the f@$k out of me with all the damn splatter. It kept sputtering out bad especially after about an inch or so it's like it would loose ground then spark back up. That would explain why it was cold. I couldnt even see a puddle for most of it.
