Well after two days my disposable argon bottle is still going.
I have progress at last, manage to run a bead. Last bead was the fourth from the right.
Yes, I know it's not good, but it's better than my first attempt and it's progress.

So, what have I discovered?
Gas at 24lpm minimum.
WF - lots and lots.
Volts around 16.
Stickout very, very short.

Also discovered my Mig can't weld material above 6mm thick.

My settings maybe wrong, but it's working for me, so I'll stick with them, for now!
