My first mig welder was a Century with flux wire which I used mainly on body panels. On thin metal you will have to make short bursts making sure to have a good puddle. With my old flux mig I had to use multiple tack welds to keep from burning through. Just takes a lot of practice to get better, the more you weld the better you will get. You might want to get a book on welding at a book store, the book will have a wealth of information and although it will not make an expert of you it will get you there quicker.
Thanks. I agree practice, practice, and more practice. Thanks for the tips. I think I might I might jut do that and buy a book.
