Thanks Mate puddles are not main concern I will be practicing getting Full penetration and I do remember my Metallurgy and the point of keeping the Tung' clean .. Thank you for your concerns and Advice BuddyHanso
The best and fastest way to get your eye back is to do aluminum...take just a flat plate and start to make your puddles..Using alum allows you to weld over other the last welds you made with having to brush and clean the welding surface..
Getting the hang of puddles and feeding the rod comes much quicker that way...using 1/8 inch plate you can weld on that plate until it is 1 inch thick if you need to...
Just remember once you touch the tungston it is contaminated...You must regrind the point...other wise it will burn black and make the rest of the weld bad...
It is that way with steel and Stainless steel too..Once you have the alum down the others are easy......Just allow the SS to air cool on it own....
