Woodwright, I'm assuming you switched to this method after getting poor results? And have you seen an improvement?
This is the way I have always done it. I wonder if my welding skills or my welders might be part of it. My mig is a small flux-core lincoln with a wire speed knob and 4 settings instead of an amperage knob. On one setting it doesn't have enough penetration, but on the next setting it blows through. My tig is a squarewave 175 thats about 12 years old. It doesn't have alot of hours, but I think it might need adjusted. I probably could practice more too.

The worst place it happened was when I welded up my side marker lights. It actually buckled the panel in a few spots.
