Can anyone help! Am having problems getting my MIG set correctly to fillet weld two different thicknesses of steel together. The thicker piece is 3mm thick the thinner about 1mm. When I try to weld it just spits everywhere. Have tried altering the feed rate and the power settings to no avail. Any suggestions??

Firstly make sure both metals are clean, including the reverse sides and particularly in the joint.
Concentrate the arc on the 3mm, allowing it to wash onto the 1mm as not to burn thro.
Do you only have this problem when welding this type of joint configuration?
What machine is it? Gas or gasless?
