Awesome tyvm I'm going to put putting in some time this weekend. I'll post some follow ups.

I have a 240ac/180dc craftsman welder. Both beads are ran dc 6011 was run DCEP and the 7018 was DCEN. They are both U.S Forge rods. I was doing whip and pause on 6011 and just dragging the 7018.That was all welded in flat position. I'll definitley try what you suggested tyvm for the onformation.

Hi, new to welding. Just wanted a few tips on how I can improve my beads. The first picture is 1/8" 6011 ran on about 90 amps , the second is 1/8" 7018 ran on about 120 amps. All were laid on a 1/4" plate. Pretty sure 6011 was run on DCEP and 7018 on DCEN. My welder just has a picture...
