Thanks I will try that. I am having a hard time seeing my bead I have played with the settings on my helmet some I am afraid of going to low and hurting my eyes. Mine has two settings 1-8 and 9-13 then a dial on each setting I keep it on 9-13 and usually run it on 9 or 10.

Clean and tight gaps for an amateur to have success welding. I have used the start stop method. Crank up those amps and if you in the ballpark it will almost look like tig welding.

I also use an air gun to cool down thin welding. I don't weld often so if I don't use everything I can it looks like Fido's *** lol...
