I'm kinda new to this tig welding thing, but I'm getting the hang of it slowly but surely. I've bust a few 2" SCH 80 carbon steel tests, but I'm not gonna stop trying to get better. I have a problem with my tungsten getting stuck while I'm on the overhead, the sides & the top come out fine,...

Everytime I try to add rod on my pipe welds the tungsten keeps sticking, idk if my machine is too cold or if my tungsten is sticking out too far, can anyone help me solve my problem with my tungsten sticking??? Thanks in advance

Its pretty hard to walk the cup on 2" pipe so I will probably dab it for both

I'm a beginner to the whole pipe welding thing so I wanna know what is the best voltage to weld on the open root & should I use the whip & pause technique or just let the rod burn into the pipe???
