I've read through this newsgroup plenty of times, and I know this is a
dead-horse type topic. But I was hoping someone has a step by step
web site on the finer points of stick welding sheet metal.

I got the following...
1. low amps, small rod (1/16)
2. NO gap, tight, clean fitup
3. Move fast (2 inches per second was what one previous posted said)

can anyone add anything else?

I use 3/32 dia E7014 (iron powder in the coating)
at about 90 Amps AC to weld 16 Ga. or less sheet
metal. Practice by first laying beads on top of
..06" sheet steel without burning holes in it.
Next exercise is to close any holes that you did
burn thru. After mastering this repeat the exercise
on .03" thick sheet metal. Learn from the results
of moving too fast or too slow, also when using a
short arc and what happens with a long arc. HTH.
