General welding questions that dont fit in TIG, MIG, Stick, or Certification etc.
#1 make sure you are on the correct polarity
#2 make sure your amperage is correct for the rod (mostly) and (to a slightly lesser extent) the thickness of the base materials being welded.
#3 keep a correct arc length & simultaneously keep the correct rod angle.

Definitely not the intention, seen a few websites in signatures. Plus its not even related to the help I needed..tweake wrote:notice the spam link in the op's signature.
To those who DID decide to help out with the advice, I appreciate it. I checked out a few yt videos as well about the arc length and it definitely was related to part of the issue. At first I thought it was the miller I was using.
