Finally got it figured out

I've been using a heavy glove on the guiding hand and a lighter glove on the stick hand. Also works well with mig, lighter glove gives better trigger feel for sure.

Now that is great advice! Thanks for the tip! :thumbsup:

The skin on your bare hand will appreciate a glove of any kind!
7014 is a great rod for clean materials, and lays a beautiful weld!

I don't normally subscribe to threads, but if you guys are going to keep posting tips then I'll be following this one. A right hand glove would have been nice with my old Tombstone... that "stinger" earned it's name every time that I accidentally touched the screw holding the lead in place.

Biggest failure in our school systems for boys and some girls is no more vocational classes....

What we have here where I live is what was originally called “The JVS” ... short for Joint Vocational School.

Obviously, it is a vocational school ... but the thing that made it somewhat unique for its time (at least as far as I know) is that the voters of three smaller suburban districts went together funded a levy to make it happen, where none of them could afford to offer the breadth of courses that the JVS (now Portage Lakes Career Center) does, by drawing from a broader area.

Pretty sure you are automatically subscribed to any thread you reply. Are you typically unsubscribing after you post?

I use a lot of 6011 rods because they aren't as picky about the surface being clean, like a lot of others.

Pretty sure that's a preference one can change (to subscribe or not subscribe)

Hmmm... I looked for it but couldn't find the 'switch'. I know you can subscribe without replying or unsubscribe after.
