I am just learning to weld and i an having aproblem with splatter on my work peace.

please tell me what i need to do to remedy this problem. I do not understand what wire i should be using, weather it should be 0.30 or 0.35. please help.

---------------------------------------------------
spatter is usually caused by not enough wire speed.

or in rare cases, too much wire speed.

try increasing wire feed speed until splatter goes away.

.030 or .035 does not make much difference if you set the voltage and wire speed right.
