QUOTE(realred914 @ Dec 10 2010, 07:29 AM)  try another plate, maybe it is bent? you should not need glue on the o-ring, o-rings are actually designed to move a bit as things expand/contract, glue can compromise that. me thinks something is bent on yours. one photos appear to show a lop sided plate where you can see the o-ring more on one side verses the othes. good luck also PS you might try coloring the o-ring with a flet pen marker, then assemble, them take apart and see if the color might show where teh contact is not being made??? just a might help you see where the defect is. gas sheild gives better cleaner stronger wleds in general, is easier, specailly for the learner. i highly recommend you try to rent a tank and set up as gas shielded. the cost of the tank rental may not be that bad when you consider the solid wires is cheaper, and you will be making less scrap, and require less clean up (grinding) gas sheild is superior not doubt. much easier to master, it is were it is at.
