So I am welding in the Tangerine Racing inner consol reinforcement. If I have the welder set on three it doesn't bite into the ear. If I have it set on four it bites but it blows holes in the new piece. I was able to get two holes filled and they are definitely welded on. However, I am wanting to know before I do more if going on the four setting will be right and not damage anything. Three just doesn't seem to cut it.

I hate to say it but you need to turn the heat down a little and try to push the wire up and not get so hot as to have the molten metal fall down. Stop the beads at shorter distances and let it cool longer. Wear a long sleeve shirt with flaps on the pockets and try to stay off to the side. This is why most guys go to the rotisserie. Have you seen the wooden rollover that one member is using? I don't know how straight the body will stay but it sure beats hot metal on the skin.
