I use a mig, but I use argon with mine. You're saying your getting good beads if you run them of on an open sheet of metal, but are you? You can get great looking weld beads with gas, arc, or mig like this because there's no place for the melted material, rod or base metal to go unless you blow through. I'd say your going to have to play with your set up. If your talking a butt weld the gap between the pieces should be no wider then the wire. When you weld with a mig you should not be getting 'blobs' of metal, that's the biggest advantage of a mig small tight welds. I'll set the material gap and then play with your temperature and also don't forget wire speed is also important. Good luck, hope that helps.
