I messed around with the settings today and tried going hotter (setting "C") with just a touch more wire speed but ended up going back. I can't get nice flat welds, it seems to mostly sit on top. Sometimes the wire doesn't even tranfer and makes a little ball at the end of the wire.
I don't remember what setting I had for these, but you can sort of see.
Part of the reason is my gaps are all uneven. I tried doing a little welding on the back side too and that doesn't work so well as I can't get the flap wheel in there to clean the old paint and powercoat. It's really tempting to run short beads, I did a couple and they ended up decent.
Where I stopped tonight.
Not happy with the lower part. It's flat here
Bowed inwards the worst at the lower door hinge area
And flat again near the top
It was bowed in at the bottom a bit when I first tacked it in and got worse as I added heat.
Hoping when I cut the bottom of the A-pillar off to put in the patch panel I can hammer and bend it back straight a little since it'll be a little weaker without the lower bit. Good thing this is the passenger side and I won't see it every time I get into the truck.
