    Move in small circles...looks like you were moving a little slow or had too much wire...

    I can weld but the mask we have a work is shit and the last time i welded with it i saw green spots for an hour...havent welded since and cant bring myself to spend big bucks with snap on for a nice helmet

    Gotcha, I'll try that next time. Thanks a ton for the help.


    This guy seems to rave about the $50 northern tool auto darkening helmet.

    Seems like a good alternative if you don't want to spend a ton.

    For a first weld,especially on that machine, that's pretty good. They make anti spatter spray if you want to spend less time cleaning up.
