I am trying to weld in some sheet metal patches to the back of the cab of my wc12. A while back I purchased a very basic Campbell Hausfeld flex core wire feed welder admittedly a cheap machine-no shielding gas. My problem is when I go to weld, I cant get a nice bond- either burns through on the edge of the patch or the weld makes little mounds. i have it on the lowest speed and power setting the metal is 20 gauge sheet steel. I don't want to buy another machine for so little work. Any tips appreciated.
