Back to the original question a sec....
Having turned the machine down to the coolest you can still run a decent 
bead and adjusted the voltage by sound, try a bounce shot ,so that  with 
the gun tilted towards the ring but aimed low, only the far side of the 
bead touches the ring.  Start the bead a little way off and move towards 
the ring.    This method might encourage a cold overlap under other 
conditions but you can weld  very different weight stock together this way. PF
