thanks people - I did try to remove as much zinc - but there was still yellow at end - - I got it to work nice enough but will redo tomorrow with stainless or not coated type....
no filler needed in end for what i t needed - but certainly not pretty to look at...

i really like the 12 because it offers me better viewing - but i can swap it to a 6 or 8 -
the bolts are steel not alum or stainless

ok thanks - i will bump it and see - also fyi using no12 furrick with about 3/4 stick out and 20on gas....
wire wheel them both -
i will let you know - did not think to go high or hot and then just not give it all pedal...

ok thanks in advance -

welding a nut onto top of round carriage bolt -
1/4 bolt -

using 2% lanth 1/16 " electrode and 1/16 filler( almost always 2%)
started at 54 - moved to 64 - but nut just gets red hot -
no flow -

any suggestions welcome because I am doing it wrong

thanks in advance - I have miller211 - flux core 030 - and too much weld material - I have used the chart but just am not happy with product - 3 things to adjust - speed of hand, Amperage, wire feed speed - I have gone up and done the dial and this new rig is frustrating - older Lincoln rig with 030...
