[QUOTE="tytower, post: 827332, member: 2399"] Hope more people post here I always have trouble with these and for me it is a matter of trying to get the speed right . Tried the "U" or sideways figure 8 approach but it always runs. Does a huge weld though with moving upwards and tip pointed down. Now I go down with tip pointed up as quickly as feels right for a root weld then lay a slightly larger bead a bit slower over right and left of it still pointed up. It must be up to push the weld pool against gravity .Pointing down won't work unless you build somewhere for the pool to sit first [/QUOTE]
