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.

Yes dartfreak75 you need a 12 gauge wire, 20 amp circuit and breaker to run that 110v welder.

Can make up a 10' to 25' extension cord out of 12 gauge wire too that will handle the 20 amps . . the shorter the better.
