Re: Tig 3G/4G test

Just finished my 3G/4G test, I’ll find out in about 7 days the results. I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous glad a had a couple of days in the college to practice.

Re: Tig 3G/4G test

Thanks Poland308 for advice but I think my problem was what CJ737 said, I was short dipping and allowing the heat to melt the filler rod, I have practiced some more this morning in the 3G/4G positions and as CJ said “jam the rod in” and it has made a big difference. 4G Cap https://uploads.tapatalk-c...

Re: Tig 3G/4G test

This is 4G fill I forgot to take a photo of my root. One problem I’m getting is the filler rod is balling a lot at the end, and I can’t feel my arms lol.

Re: Tig 3G/4G test

Thank you for the advice, I will definitely let the plate cool in between each pass. The advice about breathing made me laugh as you are concentrating on so many things who would think that you would forget to breath lol but I do it almost every time.
