* CERTAINLY! * Watch these 2 videos via YouTube: (1st is about women discussing welding jobs)(The second video shows a young lady instructing a guy how to wire-feed weld): Video 1: WELDING WOMEN video Video 2: Lady instructs guy in wire-feed welding, video After welding, metal won’t stay together, why? * The rod: same material that you’re welding? Is it dry & not flaking off? * Welder setting: Hot enough amperage? * Material that you’re welding: Compatible with the rod you’re using? (steel on steel?). * Your methods: Welding speed OK? Steady & staying in one place long enough for good adhesion? Welding too close? Do you weld left to right? (arc welding) * I PERSONALLY weld right to left because I’m left handed. * A right-hander normally welds left to right. * If you’re right-handed, you need to have the rod angled down to the right so that you can see the puddle (& have better puddle control). My arc welder will turn on but it won’t weld. Why? * My first thought would be connections. T
