I am trying to weld in some new 14 Gage sheet metal into the rocker panels in my Cruiser. (I have cut away the bad metal). I keep getting booger welds. I am using a Lincoln 125 amp welder with .035 flux core wire. When I set the Voltage to 'E' I blow holes in the sheet metal (the stock 18 ga on the cruiser) and if I set the voltage do 'D' the arc strikes for a second, and the wire coming out of the gun pushes it away. If I try to lower the wire speed, I get ZIP nothing ZIP nothing ZIP nothing.
Anyhow, I know I need to listen for the sound of bacon sizzling.
Also, should I be PUSHING the weld puddle or PULLING the weld puddle?
Thanks
