Hi all, newbe to thisforum so be gentle with me please.
I've been using a SIP Migmate 130T and 0.9mm wire on the 1959 Morris Traveller I'm restoring. I've been having good results with gasless (in my eyes anyway) but when I last went to get some more gasless wire from Screwfix they'd stopped selling it so I bought a reel of 0.8mm copper coated wire.
I,ve connected a large bottle of CO2 to the welder and tried to weld with disasterous results. Having been reminded about swapping the polarity on the MMOC forum, I've tried again but with only marginally better results.
My problem is that I am having to turn up the current far higher to get any sort of penetration and increase the wire feed as well. Even with this adjustment, the weld is much harder to maintain and I blow many more holes.
With the gasless I was able to easily repair any holes created butnot so with this wire.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks Brian
