    Looking at this weld, its either too hot or more likely, the rod is too far from the metal indicated by lots of splatter. Looks like you started out tighter than you ended.

    You really need to see your work clearly -
    What lens are you using - I like a 9 (you can really see what you are doing and you can wear sunglasses under the shield) - most like 10s - and 11 are way too dark - good for air gouging though. I do not like the auto darkening lenses at all!
