I know (respirator) and I did clean the crap out of it but there's still the smallest amount of residue left behind which makes the arc dance around more than I'd like (Think Ghostbusters style fighting with the directionality of the ray).

Here's my tips for getting successful welds:
28A (without pedal)
A slight up slope and a very short down slope.
1.0mm Purple electrode with a long sharp point
1.2mm filler

I used the lay wire technique almost everywhere and kept a tight arc. That's what got me the best results.

I'll give it a shot thanks.

also bought a spotwelder (it'll be Mai before I have it, it's still in the US) but that should at least make work easy on the doors and hatch
