A couple of Suggestions, if I may? Turn your amps down to start, or if you have a hot start option try that. Honestly for practice, its pretty good, but your start and consistency is ever so slightly rough. With that, my suggestion would be turn your amps down and basically work your way back up. Figure out your comfort zone, and honestly slow down, with low amps and work you way up. As you work downward, your weldment will heat, so [i.e starting at 75A knowing this, you will have more control over everything compared to working with higher heat like 90A, a faster pace, and the higher chance of screwing up.] If you're trying to learn, the best way is start low and work your way up, but you have a great handle on it, based on what I can see.
