Re: Welder Question

I would turn the heat and gas both up beyond what you need for the thickness you're welding. Clean the weld area well (I use brake parts cleaner to degrease) before you start, and make sure the area where you attach the ground is clean as well. You'll burn through 18 gauge, but it should eliminate any pop and you'll know for sure if it's a power or gas delivery problem.
