Welding Tips and Tricks

Good afternoon,

I was hoping someone could give some insight on to how this cap looks. I have a test tomorrow! really nervous being that I taught myself to weld.

Honestly it looks a little cold at the toes and a little humped up in the center of the beads. Turning up your amps just a little (like 3-5 more amps) may be enough to smooth it out for you.

You heard it here ^^^^ first. Completely agree with this.

Just stay cool and make some nice welds. Its just another plate.

Well I think it went well. It will get bent and I will have the results in 2-4 weeks.

Looks like you turned up the heat a little. Good luck!
