I'll get back to work in May.
I also switched back to the .025" wire, I'm not sure how well I'm penetrating, but for some reason (maybe because I left the welder out in a little drizzle) the .035" wasn't working. I probably need to adjust my welding technique to get better penetration.

If the wire has been damp or is old, it will get a little rusty and this will make the wire chatter as it passes through the liner on it's way to the welding tip. Chatter equals patchy welding. A little WD 40 applied directly to the wire spool often eases this condition a little.
