Well attemps 1,2,and 3 are utter disasters!! Every night I've been spending a couple of hours trying to figure this tig out. For the most part I can control the tourch and run a nice bead by itself. But when I start to use the wire DISASTER!!! I'm using the mig wire as filler Roger said to start with. I'm having a hard time starting the puddle without burning through no matter how low I bring the amps down. I just ordered a new Optrel welding helmet. I think vision is part of my problem. So will see what happens with the new helmet when I get it...
