A picture is worth a 1000 words.

Hard to see now, but the edge where I am welding the body was ground.
I tried .030 wire, and 0.023 wire. With all 4 temp settings my cheap mastercraft mig can do, and several wire feed speeds.

It's attached and not going anywhere, I can hit it with a hammer. And luckily it will be out of sight, but damn it is some kind of ugly.
it's where I am covering a hole into the cargo area of my jeep after I cut the rusted out lower rear quarter out, I had wanted to weld it up nice and tight. But got frustrated and sprayed the outside with undercoat, and filled the inside with expanding foam, so it is sealed up crazy good, but not even close to how I wanted to do it, lol.
How do I do this? I think part of my problem is the body is thicker than 20 gauge. I was trying short zaps, as they seemed to be the most effective, but I started to do longer on the body close to the new sheet and then just a quick zap from the new metal to the weld bead I just left.
