get rid of your hf flux, go get some tractor supply flux. it's much better than the stock roll, .030 flux will work. how far from the work is your tip? wire wheel off the alumized coating, and go over the flux before you run a second bead.

Look close at the joints. Namely near the filter. That weld was done with a canadian tire special flux core welder. For such a cheap ass welder that was given to me... The machine can weld nicely. I've made numerous exhausts for friends and air intakes with it. Clean your metal and clean your welds after. Chizzle and wire wheel. I did not use any grinding disk. Just wire wheel.
