Thanks very much for the info, it's always better to know too much. So I suppose it's the same for the overhead weld? Would I have the puddle behind of, or infront of the electrode?Would I move away, or to myself? Really don't want a puddle on my visor!

Hi there Guys and Gals, I'm an underwater welder from the UK and have been asked to start taking on a lot more surface welding. I did some surface stuff years ago under training, just to get used to the way things plug together and work, terminology and a small amount of horizontal (bench) technique...
