Hi All, just found the forum,
I'm ok with welding generally, been using gas for years, and MIG for the last 3 or 4, I'm replacing the back wings and boot floor on the Jag, and came to need to do a bit of welding upside down, and couldn't get a neat weld at any price, to the point of suspecting my kit was faulty.
So, tried on some scrap hand held I sarted a weld the right way up, then gradually turned it upside down as it gets upside down the weld wire just melts into a ball about 2mm of the joint. I've tried increasing wire speen, power etc. etc. but cannot get a neat weld, any advice greatfully recieved.
Im welding 1mm sheet, butt, lap and plug, using 25 and 30 amp.
Regards.
Pete.
