Reply:Your weld will wet out WAY better on clean metal.
Reply:Yea the polarity is correct. The lincoln repair guy set it up for me. I wanted to see if I could weld in rusty metal and it did penetrate plenty. It was bright red underneath after the weld I think I was going to slow too. So what should the gas setting be set on?
Reply:15cfh is about right.
Reply:I guess the polarity was wrong. I figured he set it upright.
