/diy/ - Do It Yourself

If youre blowing through with stick on muffler thickness its your own damn fault. Mainly change your angle of attack. The stick should just melt and lay down on your work surface. Go look what a 20 degree angle of attack on a flat surface looks like.

1/16 inch 6013 electrode. No idea what amp setting because theres no amp settings. Its just 2 microwave transformers I wired into a box of shit.

If youre still blowing through at a 20 degree angle its because youre not running your bead fast enough or stitch welding like a 3rd worlder where you weld. Stop let it cool down then weld again.

No high level experience but I assume just blaming your tools and getting into new ones isnt some magic key to unlocking success and would just leave you chasing your tail.
