Neil,
Looking at your picture, I'd say you are using a 120 volt MIG.
Fluxcore?
That would give you marginal penetration on material as thick as in
your picture.  Go slowly and weave back and forth.  I hold the torch
with two hands, one on the trigger and the other near the tip. Hold
the torch close in to the material, as little 'stick out' and
possible.  Plug your welder in as close to the breaker box as
possible.  Avoid using extension cords.
