Three basic reasons why splatter can occur. One - mild steel electrodes with thin coatings usually splatter quite a bit. Two - amperage setting too high. Three - arc length too long. Other factors can contribute such as wet electrodes, using AC current and possibly old electrodes that have been stored too long or incorrectly.

Do have to take stick welding before tig welding?
I was taught oxy/acetylene welding first, then stick. TIG welding is just like oxy/acetylene except much easier (less variables and a foot control to make minor corrections or even pulse the weld) I would recommend you learn both. TIG welding for precise/clean welding. Stick for some larger, perhaps special welding (hard facing tools - bigger pieces of steel).

What is stick welding most commonly used used for?
Stick welding machines are usually the least expensive machines available. Stick welding SMAW is used to fabricate steel and many other kinds of metals. A big variety of electrodes including cutting rods are available. This process is relatively easy to learn and use. From small farms to big industries to home workshops stick welding is the first choice from beginners to craftsmen.
