Can someone help me out? I am tig welding my base plates (rear strut towers). When I get near any seams in the sheet metal, the weld pool blows up/spits onto my tungsten. The sheet metal is clean, my base plate (.090") is clean(acetone, wire wheel, flap disc). My welder specs ahp 80 amps, 3/32 e3 tungsten, #6 cup, 18-20 psi @ regulator. I am attaching ground clamp to a vise grip clamped to base plate. I can weld scrap out of the car with no issue (so I am assuming my settings/gas are fine). Thank you
