penetration looks ok in some spots. Either turn your heat up:flame: a little or slow down your hand a little. WOW........ i just realized that this reply has way to much sexual innuendo for something so manly as welding....... Anyway, the absence of splatter is amazing considering no shielding gas was used

naw I was using gas. Got a 4' tank ;)

I really rushed through that weld. Got home, got the shit out of the back of the car myself and just wanted to test it out so I turned the speed to 5/12 and heat on 7/12 and just tried it out.

I should have time to booger with it tomorrow. Btw, it's a Snap-On...pimp

Just brought it home yesterday around 6ish. Think I'm gonna offer my brother my fluxcore and some $$ so I can keep it forever. Thing should probably last my lifetime and aside from getting a TIG one day I doubt I'll ever outgrow it.
