Need advice for 2G tube test

Getting ready to take my first test for 2G, 1-1/2" OD x .095" 4130. so I have a few question and any advice is appreciated. First going to prep tube to 60 degree bevels. Is a root gap needed for this size tube? What size filler 1/16 or 3/32? Two passes?

Thanks, Kevin

Re: New SpeedGlas Helmet

I would like to hear more reviews on this helmet from people that already are using it. I have favored Speedglas over the years.
Thanks

Re: super flex cable

I just developed a water leak in my power super flex cable right where it exits the connector cover. It's the black covered cable which is about 9 years old. When I contacted CK they informed me deterioration has been seen before. I was surprised when they told me this is natural rubber not silicone...
