I am using gasless super6 0.8mm wire and trying to butt join some oval 2mm thick tube to some 40mm x3mm tube. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I get the sounds of bacon and good beads when practising a simple bead. When attempting a butt join, I get a lot of popping and pigeon poo, doesn't stick, I couldnt tack the work together! the practise runs worked on any setting, max with 6/10 speed was best. Popping usually tells me to increase wire speed but didnt help, I couldnt find a good setting.
Yesterday I was testing the new spool gun, tried 1mm steel sheet with gasless, and 1mm stainless sheet with argon, both went well, much easier to control than the old torch. I suspect it is the gasless, so Im going to try tomorrow with argon and plain wire.
