Vids for 2g pipe weld?
Apparently today I banged thru 4, 5G coupons with passable (all our welds must be xray / bend test standards). So now I'm into 2G. I hate Gravity. Does anyone know of any good videos I can watch? And or any helpful hints? - thanks! - Mike

My fill pass tie ins have gotten a lot better since that photo was taken and I grind the high spots flush. However, I was told when coming from 6 o'clock up. I should "cheat" and drag the puddle instead of pushing. Something about too much heat build up?

Re: Vertical 7018 1/8
Lower amps, 7018 shouldnt splatter much. Hold the sides till you see the puddle moving with you, and tighten up your weave
