Kase I love the fact that you love welding but please give us more light to see your work. It may also be helpful to state the wire specifics. "Flux Core" is vague at best!
Thanks Wakodahatchee Chris

This guy forget to tell you 25.5v at 309-350 wire speed. If you hear crackle your speed is too high. If it drops your too hot or need to speed up travel speed. 7 year fluxcore welder here underpaid in ca looking for better life out of ca in welding industry please help

Just curious as to why you ran so cold? All the popping indicates too cold/little too much wire. Would there be any any reason to not run around 25. Also curious on your opinions of straight on/pushing th beads

Could you show how to do a 2G open root 3/8 plate without backing strip using dual shield flux core 0.45 wire, that was test i was just given and failed, so could you throw me some pointers and help? A video would be greatly appreciated!!!

We use to use ceramic backing strips when I worked in the shipyard

[davidvieno]

what diameter wire were you using /
?

[masonmcfarlin]

Why drag instead of push even though it's flux and I need a better answer then drag when there's slag I'm taking a shear wave test for work I have failed my horizontal 6 times now passed over head and up hill first go it's worse than x ray

seconde pass i find you started of with just a litle too long of a stick and angle too inclined and then change perfect towards the end .i could tell by the sound started of more chunky claks and finnished souding like bacon in a frying pane could tell were you started changing angle naturely

[jessecrayford]

Why are you going in the same direction the entire time No stop and restart on bevel side, your plate is upside down for the direction your traveling and your running too cold snap crackle pop!

[richardtennity]

I thought you were supposed to weave it
