5th run and best of all. Slow to go as usual, then Heat control is still an issue as run starts to wash out.

So if you are having problems with heat, back off the foot pedal a little man

One thing that may help as well is to make the one piece taller, with it being that small it will easy become hear saturated..for someone learning using bigger pieces to practices is always easier because you don't have to be as quick and precise with your amperage changes, once you get comfortable than try a joint like that. It also seems,you are running cold. Aluminum welds a lot easier hot and fast so the part doesn't become heat soaked. Cold and slow doesn't work well on aluminum.
