Never had time to get settings, but sounds like it would not matter. We only have used 4043 .030, but never a problem. Maybe I will get a small spool of 5356 and see if we have the same problem. I would think running no pulse or high duty would be better since it is a harder wire.

We use the normal contact tips with no problem, not the thicker ones Everlast ships with the torch. Even have use the HF ones. Again, 4043 only.
