Oh boy, welding thin-gauge sheet metal sucks  What wire are you using? If it's .035 or .032, it's too big; you'd need more heat to strike an arc with that big a wire. Try some .025, turn the voltage down. On welding two different gauges, I'll keep the tip on the thick side, angled slightly tward the thin side. Fill those gaps first with quick little arc strikes, grind down the high spots and then bead  ------------------

It's because people ask them in the tool section. Sam's Place is intended to be a non-tech forum. ------------------
