Purge the bottom side with argon if you can

you didn't say how thick or how long a weld you need to make

I like 1/16 rod and a half second pulse rate for most of the stainless flat or header work I do----
Thanks guys I'll try adjusting the pulse settings a little more tomorrow. I am also purging the bottom . I am also not needing a "perfect" weld. The piece is 16" long and all welds are for just filling the seam to be ground down and polished out to a mirror finish. Like I told a guy at work its only to fill the seam the welds will not have any stress put on them.
