Message	Get the feel of running beads first.. on a flat plate. Then start messing with heat/power settings vs wire speed. There is a site.. [ www.weldingtipsandtricks.com ] or somthing similar to that (google it).. Its good info for beginners. Keep practicing.. nothing is better than messing around and putting time in. I must've spent ATLEAST 10hrs of welding in my garage when I got the new MIG.. and that was just playing around type welding.. _________________________________________________________________________ ~~~ Sig starts below ~~~ ================================================================= NO, This picture is not photoshopped.
