I agree with Elite -- turn the wire down just a skosh more -- heat up a bit more (one amp per .001 thickness of the metal --- so .125" steel (1/8th inch) gets 125 amps.

And he's right -- just stay with the trigger a bit longer...

Isn't this fun?!
Thanks, I take constructive criticism well, it motivates me.

I've made some darn purdy cold welds too.

One per thousandth and few more milliseconds on the trigger - Check!

Fun? H*ll yes, I love it!

Thanks again, I really appreciate it.
