This gasless welder is a splatter monster - are they all like that? It’s all stuck together but looks like a porn set at closing time. At least with the van I can get in a bit easier with the grinder.

They do splatter more but are not too bad, is the material you are welding spotless? are you using gasless wire? weld in spots uisng a 1 sec on 1 sec off technique, then you can turn the heat up and not blow holes

yeah - gasless wire, welding nails onto steel balls as an experiment. They're meant to be rusty after all and like dead seed heads so all good. I'll be more fastidious prepping the van and will def. spot weld carefully...
