Had my first go at welding tonight. Got a Clarke 90 pro mig with disposable co2 bottles and 6mm wire.
Ive been practicing on some exhaust and i just cant get any penetration at all
Its around 1.5mm thick. I have tryed all the different settings and wire speed but still nothing. Should i be ok with .6mm wire?
It kept burning back into the tip. Also the spring that was inside the tip bit melted abit and now doesnt come all the way to the end?
Sorry for the stupidnes but could do with the help.
Cheers
