Default Welding question?

I am trying to weld repair panels to an Escort Mk1 front wing using a cheap gasless mig welder.

Even on the "Low" setting , it keeps blowing holes through the metal even with quick tack welding, what am i doing wrong?

Don't bother get ur self a gas mig welder 150 amps would be good and used proper gas (argonshield)

It will save time and money and give you a better job

IT WILL BE THE BEST MONEY YOU WILL SPEND MATE!!!!!!!and its always there to make money for mates etc
