Is your metal completely clean? Practice on some scrap of the same size before attempting to do the real job. This way you can get your speed and power settings where they should be.

Flux core wire is not ideal either so that will be working against you from the start.

Are you vertical welding or horizontal? It'll take different settings and speeds to do them.

Mounding generally means not enough heat. Use a copper backer to help yourself out too.

Again, cleanliness is normally the biggest pitfall.
