no need to put money on anyone, ive been truthful with him the whole time, told him exactly whats been happening, and hes still getting upset for no apparent reason, i sent him pics of the buidl process ect.

Re: put a gas lense on my torch finally. pics

Regardless. I wish I could weld like that.

I've maxed out my patience on your ass already. I have been good to you.... and you know that. Stop ------- with my business!

That is nearly impossible to do, and 100% impossible to do, leaving anything other than rounded seams inside. Any that have full penetration and sharp edges have been ground back that way after welding. To do that, I'd give nearly a 100% guarantee that they reduce the wall thickness grastically.

Got pics of yours?

Nopie...it's the other way around. The first pass is the one that should get your penetration into the inside, unless you are welding it from both sides.

Whether 100% penetration is actuall necessary is still a debatable issue though.

Hotrex...a suggestion: I can tell you're dabbing the wire. You're keeping the wire in close to the puddle, which is good. It keeps the end of the wire from getting contaminated between each dip. I can tell this from the color and cleanliness of the welds. However, you may find that if you just leave the wire in the puddle, play with torch angle and arc length, do a slight Z weave pattern to make the filler tie in smoothly on each side, that things will look more consistent.

You're alright, Engloid.
