Templates are allowed, and it's to be welded in a horizontal position.

Thanks for the tips guys. Will the root appearance be flat? Or what type of characteristic will it have, just so I know what to look for.

Thanks

Hey guys first time poster. I'm practicing a 4" to 8" branch (fish mouth) schd 40 with 7018 root and 7018 all the way out. What tips and suggestions would you guys have in terms of gap, landing and technique for welding the root?

Thanks.
