2G Hotpass SMAW

A slow travel speed and tight arc length are key components to having a nice hotpass in the 2G position. If you are having trouble with this position watch Austin's full demo over in the #weldapp

I think that is my biggest problem… freaking out and thinking I have to rush and not building enough heat

I hope to see you make videos that indicate what type of electrode you are using, show the actual travel speed (do not fast forward), the correct work angle and the travel angle on all positions.

You shouldn't stop on the same spot of the 1st pass stops points to make sure its melted properly and if any critters or porosity to burn and melt

If you're going to make a statement about the kind of Rod you're using you should probably tell us what kind of rod you are using. I don't think everyone is aware that traditionally a hot pass is 7018.

I'd run about 137 for 1/8, and 155 - 175 if you're running 5/32. I wish there was more to see how you stack the beads.

I like to hug the upper toe. Of course watching that the bottom toe is reached .
