Re: Butt Welding help?

I use 030 wire. My instructor always said it should sound like frying bacon if the heat is set correctly. Popping is from dirty material. Burn through is often from too hot of a heat setting; need faster wire speed, and move faster. I like to spot weld counting to 3-4 seconds per trigger pull. After that time, it is time to stop, or move to another spot. Moving around minimizes distortion and always have water and a rag handy.
