TIG + MS

Did some welds yesterday on ms and overall I've been producing my best work using TIG but some of the beads developed a very slight wrinkled effect along them. I was joining 2 different thickness pieces, 5mm and 2mm so I suspect this was the cause...?

its not the thickness of the metal, ussually a wrinkled look to the weld is a sign of lack of gas protection in tig, or any gas protected welding process. turn the gas up, or get a bigger gas cup.

Hmm..Not sure about that, as I was doing identical welds before and after using the same gas flow with exactly the same machine settings and less than half the runs were effected.
