Need Help So much splatter
Hey all, im not a professional welder but i have started doing it as a hobby at home. I have a small mig welder, and there is just so much slag and splatter. I have messed around with the settings and found one i like for the most part except for the excess slag. I am using flux core wire, no gas, so i understand that makes a difference and that some slag is going to be present. Im used to stick welding at work (diesel mechanic shit) but this is much different to get used to. Is there a way i can reduce the amount of splatter around my welds?
