What number and diameter rod are you using?

. com...
I've recently taken up welding just as a hobby... mostly out of
curiousity.
I have a small stick welder... anybody have any tips or advice for using
it?
It constantly sticks to the d*mn project & it's gettin real old real fast.
I
"strike it like a match" to get it heated up... but maybe I just suck ;D.
Thanks in advance. Also, when I'm trying to weld.. do I hold the rod a
tiny
bit away from the metal? Or press it against the metal?
