Having bought a welder off gumtree and googled welding, I'm managing to do do horizontal stuff ok but as soon as I do vertical it goes to pot.

I can't get the run to stick.

I'm using 6013 and 85v

Any help please?

If its mig and your going vertical start at the bottom and go up the way, friend of mine is a cracking welder I've learned loads from him but it's hard to explain , it should sound like bacon crackling on a frying pan when it's going good

I wouldn't want to take any advice off anyone that didn't know that 6013 is a mild steel "stick " electrode.:biggrin:

 

 

Anyone who knows anything about welding will tell you 6013 is also available as mig wire or tig filler.

 

Since you obviously know more about welding than treequip I'll leave you too it. :lol:

Good job I didn't offer any advice then.

 

These days I just lay it flat with the telehandler.

 

Back to the O.P, up or down ?
