You have a 350P? Of course, the conventional wisdom is that spray mode is for horizontal or flat only. But you can try pulsed spray, which should allow your puddle to freeze much faster. Maybe you can make vertical spray mode work then.

So I am building a flatbed deck on a truck and did most of it with pulsed spray transfer and 90/10. (Not a process I use a lot) I was having trouble with the vertical fillets. I found a good technique for overhead fillets but the vertical seems to drip out and just get too hot. Or not put enough metal down if I speed up. Tried vertical up and down. 350p. Arc length at 40 sharp arc at 25 and 035 wire at 375-400.
So I probably need to cool it off a bit not sure what to adjust
This is how it started out
Chopped about 7 feet of the length. Used the cut off section of frame to make double frame on the dovetail. Used the 3x6 angle that was the frame mount for the underslung deck to make the new outer rails. Made New dovetailed frame right behind rear suspension. Mounted existing deck to New double frame and 4" C channel. Removed headache rack and extended bed to cab about 11'. Trying to decide on steel vs wood main deck. Just building it to sell (hopefully for a profit).

If you are wanting to spray virtical why not just use dual core for virtical ?

I've never had any luck running vertical pulse spray on anything less than a 10mm fillet, honestly for the verticals its probably easier to just change to short circuit with c25 or do it with duel shield, hell even do it with 7018.
I run a 350P and my go to is short circuit on vertical welds. Depending on the application I will on occasion run some vertical down in pulse mode tho. I don't switch to gasses like mentioned, I still run short circuit vertical up with the 90/10. Been doing it so long this way I have settings all figured out.

Yeah duel shield not duel core. It's not a cpu.

If it makes you feel any better I could not fully master it with a 350p or the HTP PP300. I got decent but never results that I could count on. Usually had to turn it down more than I thought it should be.

Gas shielded flux core wire is the way to go for heavier structural type welding. It welds so good out of position just like 7018 stock does.

That makes sense then, most jobs I do I go back and forth between pulse and short arc quite a lot. It’s enough of a pain swapping the programming in the welder over I wouldn’t wanna turn any valves too, but that’s just me.
I quit carrying 75/25 years ago. Found no need for it in my shop anymore. A couple from the other day I put down. I absolutely love uphill MIG!

Short. Last one I call cobble up. We cut a bent bracket loose, there was a 1/4 gap as for giggles up it filling gap in one pass.

OMG LOL, there's always someone lurking to one ya up.

soutthpaw I haven't tried it myself, but I've read/been told that S3 wire helps out some since it isn't as fluid as S6 wire, but I'm pretty sure that's outta the question since you already have the S6 wire and did the project already.
