    Looks really cold. I would bump up amperage next time.
    Try using 1/16th for a root pass, then use the 3/32 for your cover pass, remembering to cool down with an air blower. Stainless doesn't like a lot of heat.

    Hope this helps

    "remembering to cool down with an air blower" between welds (!) Fixed that for you, lol.
