        Why is this happening cause my YesWelder MIG-205DS burns through thin steel, Using 0.035-inch wire at 24V, and welds has holes. How i can avoid this problem?

          Holes comes from too much heat on thin steel, Set MIG-205DS to 18V for better control, My YesWelder burned through too, Use 0.030-inch wire for thinner sections, Clean with alcohol before welding, Set wire speed to 220 ipm for stability, Use 20 CFH argon for coverage, Use pulse mode if available, Ensure clean joint fit-up, Check ground clamp condition.

            burn-through comes from high heat settings, Lower to 16V for better control, My YesWelder welds thin steel smooth now, Clean with acetone thorough.

              Use pulse mode for thin steel, it helps.

                Use 0.025-inch wire for better control, My YesWelder welds got better, Clean thorough.
