Overhead welding is no big deal. Back off the heat(wire feed)and speed up your feed (your actual speed - not the wire feed). This keeps the molten metal from forming a bead and falling in your eye!! If you aren't already using it and have the option, use straight CO2 - not a mix. Some will claim they can do overhead with a mix but there are magicians on every subject you can name on here. The straight CO2 is WAY better for overhead welding. I normally use a mix but if it were me I would rent a small bottle JUST for this job - that's how strongly I feel about it.
