Thank-you for the tips, they helped a lot today. I still have a ways to go to get it just right, but it was a heck of a lot better than yesterday.
The material is thick and my welds are all inside corner welds. I am using gas and I turned the voltage down to 19 volts and the wire speed was 230. All of my pieces were ground clean prior to welding. There was no spatter but the finished bead had a somewhat high ridge to it. I will just have to keep working at it.
Thanks again.
Brian
