The cup on this gun is fairly wide, likely because it is set up for gas as well as flux core.  I am finding that this makes it difficult to see the bead as I go.  I kept wandering off the straight and narrow.  Hopefully if I am in a better position and I can watch from the side I will be more accurate.  I ran a second bead on the opposite side bracket, this time left-handed.  So far this welder seems to be of better make than the HF and putting out quite a bit more juice.
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5
