Mmm ........... With what to have said about the arc length is probably true, I've noticed I start off okay and after about .5 - .75 of an inch the gap appears. On say a weld 1'' long the last .5" - .25" has a gap. So I probably forget to feed the stick in.

Dave,
If you are just "forgetting" to feed the rod in at times, perhaps it's time to invest in a MIG welder. It won't forget to feed the wire.
Otherwise, just clean the slag off your weld beads and go back and fill in the gaps. Watch the weld puddle - not the arc. I'm sure your parts are going to hold together just fine.
