I decided to weld up a steel fuel cell with my Miller 185 using .030 on 16 gauge. I tack the thing together and start stitching it up. I am doing a few inches at a time starting on the inside at the middle and all is good. Then I get in close to the corners and I proceed to blow huge holes through the thin metal.
All this work cutting everything and prepping everthing and now it looks like shit!
I have turned the welder down to its lowest setting and played with various wire speeds. Still making holes.
I have been told it was lack of oxygen in the area of the weld that was causing the holes. If this is the case, what is the solution?
