Thanks Nate!

Your gas rate isn't the problem, it's your voltage to wire speed ratio. Too much voltage will cause that problem.

Depending on what machine you have and the type of voltage control, tap or variable, either turn the voltage down a bit or turn the wire speed up to compensate. Keep playing with the settings until you don't get any spatter.
