Hello grizz02,

Usually that means that the heat is a tad too low. Have you tried a little more heat?

Guido.

Some rods work better to start, after the initial ark with a tap on the floor, to chip the flux melted over the end of the rod. Or any hard surface like that. Just not on the welding table for the spark in the eyes.
