Welding woes...frustrating!!

Too many strikes against you. power insufficient, .035 wire needs the amperage.
Welder is a little small.
Polarity has been mentioned a few times, if it is a flux core wire feed only welder, the polarity will be correct. Correct welding tip in gun?

how much wire sticks out of gun while you weld? Should keep it 1/2” or less.

Yea I'm gonna get some more .030 and practice some more without the extension cord and see if that makes a difference. I think the cord is my biggest problem in this certain instance. Yes the tip is the correct size and the wire length is correct. Polarity isnt adjusted on my machine it has a high and low amperage and wire feed speed thats the only controls I have
