They look cold woz because he is using the wrong gas. Co2 is essential to the wetting of the weld toes and getting penetration. He's flogging a dead horse trying to get any improvements out of that with pure argon.Not great to be honest, they look very cold to me, almost like it's just sat on the plate.

That'll teach me for skim-reading.They look cold woz because he is using the wrong gas. Co2 is essential to the wetting of the weld toes and getting penetration. He's flogging a dead horse trying to get any improvements out of that with pure argon.
I do feel sorry for you mate because you are right the info on that box is imho incorrect as it tells you Ar gas is an option. It's not I'm afraid. While it will protect your weld from atmosphere, it comes with all sorts of other problems as shown in your pics. You have every right to return that gas in exchange for the right bottle if you bought it based on there advice.So am Wasting my time with just argon?
That was what gas supplier gave me, told them what i was doing.
What gas is it you recommend then?
This is the wire am using, which says argon recommend,
