welding rod stick to the metal?

[mkseogirl]

hey guys

Tell me, Why does the welding rod stick to the metal sometimes?

[dieselofdog]

Could be for a few reasons:

– Poor welder technique.
– OCV is not high enough to start the arc.
– Basic coated electrodes can be more difficult to start, especially if they are being restarted.
– Amperage not setting high enough.

Hope this answers your question
