Default Slag on my shoulder

The other thing I played around with was using the 1/8" 7018AC, but instead
of focusing it on the shoulder, I just kind of aimed it into the gap,
keeping at a speed that just melted the outside edge of the top piece:

That actually seemed to work out okay, but I don't know if that technique is
one that produces sound welds.


There ya go! I'd ride that weld downtown any day. Good job!
