Welding is just dragging a puddle back and forth in an arc usually.

1). If it's melting a hole: turn down the amps, speed up, angle it back into the puddle, or do a series of connected spots.

2). If it's not penetrating, do the opposite. Slow down in the corners to let the heat penetrate and when dragging on thicker material.

3). If there is a ridge, grid it off(optimal) or crank it up and angle the wire deep into the crack to melt everything together.

Always where the best helmet.
