Hi all, I am new to Tig. I have been practicing for my Certification tests on double bevel vertical and overhead. I have been getting problems establishing a good puddle and moving it forward. Seams like a crater opens up. Also the puddle tends to pull to one wall, like there is a magnet. There is No Magnet on my plate. Just started happening the last week. Please help.

when joining 2 pieces make sure both are well grounded when starting weld. arc will wander to best ground.
