Welcome aboard.

Did you watch the video weldin mike 27 posted a link to?
Go break something, then you can weld it back the right way.

Things I learned from my last few SS rod sessions. Very clean SS sch 40 and thicker is fairly easy to get a nice bead on. You need a few less amps than you would use for 7018 on steel. The rod runs watery and the slag forms so fast it takes some time to get a feel for what the puddle is doing. It does not like down hill the slag wants to get under or in front of your bead (whatever will look uglier). Watching the vid is important Jamie was on the money espesially when he mentioned that the rod will weld much diferent as it heats up.
I have more questions than answers
