Your jumping from puddle to puddle. stay in one puddle, and pull it down the seam. Welds should be one continues stream, not a bunch of little spots.

Ya I figured that out.The manual said that MIG consists of a series of weld's.Going to and from different spot's on the material,so the piece doesn't get too hot and warp.

I am the master of "find" when it comes to stuff on the web. If you need it or want it, I can always find it. If I can't find it, it probably doesn't exsist.

Welding is like Sex, the more you do it, the better you get. Dont just do one technique, try different positions
