IMHO the best way to learn not to do this is to learn to watch the puddle
instead of just zipping along looking at the cool arc and assuming

bit before you start on your project. It won't take long to get the hang of
it and you'll be very glad you did.


And use the BFH test on your practice work, then look the welded area
from the side to see what kind of penetration you were getting so you
can adjust accordingly.
