I noticed earlier in this thread that you are not yet using gas with your mig welder?
If that is the case, gas will make all the difference in the world with your welds. Then things will click into place much quicker in your welding learning curve.
Hope this helps,

As for the welding, I'm hesitant to go back to the .025" because I let it unwind some and now it jams. Such a pain in the ass. NEVER LET THE WIRE SPOOL UNWIND. I fooled around a bit with the settings and .035" with setting C-4 (wire feed is dialed, but heat is notched) like bob said seems to work pretty well. I'm gonna try that hole filling technique, that's a good idea.
