need close-ups of welds.
i'm no expert, but i believe you want the "quarters" tighter
looks better than my flux-core

Yeah I know what you mean by having them tighter...its just hard to get the right angle underneath the pipe.

If your using a MIG welder it should probably look like this:

A constant bead, not on and off. IF that's what you were doing. That was done with my Hobart 180.
