You are off to a very good start.
If your welder has a gas input. I'd recommend trying a small bottle of gas along with your flux core. Even on small Lincolns and Millers I've noticed an increase in quality and penetration over regular mig. This is typically referred to as Dual Shield Flux Core.

It is used on heavy duty industrial equipment all the time. As the end result is a much higher quality weld.

If you're using a 110v source and don't have the gas input. You pre-heat your work with a propane torch to improve your welds. (Don't heat to glowing red though.)

Keep on doing what you're doing. You're headed in the right direction.
