hi all
Im new to the welding world, I bought myself a weldtech wt160mp. Today i just had my first go at welding using flux core wire and got a question, what could be the problem here? am i holding the mig torch to close or is my setting not correct?
Your trying to run before you can walk.
Try laying smooth beads on to flat plate first. Use both hands one on the trigger, the other supporting the nozzle end, your trying to achieve smooth, consitsnt speed, while maintaining the correct angle, and tip distance from the surface.
Once your getting smooth non pidgeon poop runs, then try joints.
My initial efforts looked similar. I think Bob (above) makes a good point about seeing the pool. I am having difficulty seeing clearly- maybe down to my crappy helmet!
