I was reading a welding article last night in Hod Rod Magazine. One section of the article discussed setting the polarity of your welder based on the wire used. I immediately remember reading about the subject when I first purchased my welder and started welding without gas. A few seconds later, I realized I've been welding with the wrong polarity.
Today, I setup the welder in the electrode positive configuration which is used with solid wire and gas. I started welding on the floorboard with the new setting. I can't believe how much better the welder works. I get better penetration with much less to grind off.
I've almost finished welding the passenger side of the floorboard to the rocker panel. I need to stop for the day but now with the new settings have newfound motivation to finish the floor.
