Trying to get the mig to look like tig. This is one continuous motion, no start and stops. Pull to the right fairly quickly, then slow down a bit for the e loop and repeat. Any comments or suggestions? Thanks, John.

that looks really good. I've been out of town working for a friend and just got back last night. I really want to try mig like tig and see what I can do. :D

I usually do the e weave but hold the top longer than the bottom.
