last time i made a kids exhaust , i made mad tack welds under the car with no mask, point being sun burnt forehead and i dont knwo how but my eyelids as well LOL
pin holes????? are you using crappy flux wire? it just takes more practice
and how could a tig welder "run out of wire"? they are run off rods... you must mean mig
i swear to myself i wont ever rol a flux bead again, worst thing you could ever do
i have a lincoln 135 MIG and it gets PERFECT beads, how many amps is yours?
but for teh pretty **** i use my machines shops TIG
good luck
