Welding when you’re not 40 anymore…

I am not a welder but am a or used to be Ase certified paint by and body.
We learned to braze first, then stick, then mig.
If you can not stitch better than your pic with a mig and .023 or .025 wire that is your problem and if you can not stitch without putting your tip over your stitch arc and shielding your eyes, well that is your problem as well.
