Like everybody says, get an auto-darkening helmet. 
Even a HF cheapo is better than nothing.

Also, the Spit's sheet metal is pretty thin, and the
thinner sheet metal is, the harder it is to weld. 
make sure you practice on some scraps of the same
thickness.

If you really must use flux-core, find the thinner
kind.  I think it is .030 instead of the standard
0.35"
