Have you got any gas left? What sort of gas are you using?amb said
My welds dont seem to be going as smoothly as usual, (got a sip welder and the feed seems to be jittery) anyway they seem strong enough and im happy with the penetration. Did the usual plug welds where the spot welds were but also decided to seam weld the edges for a bit of extra strength/piece of mind.
Sip welders are prone to wire feed problems in fact welding in general

Ref the SIP MIG, I had the same problem. Try this - http://www.gte24v.co.uk/wordpress/how-to-guides/improve-sip-mig-welder-wire-feed/
Mine isn't 100% still but it's a massive improvement
Cheers

I like the green, black always needs so much extra prep before painting
