tips for stops and starts

by cliff

any tips on blending the weld in on a stop/starts going to be doing a cwb test next week don't want to fail the test because of that. thanks jody


-------------------------------------------------

If they let you use a grinder, you can taper the area back a little bit to have an area to start on that wont pile up.

other than that, I would say dont let the thing cool much when stopping before finishing the pass,

and then always dyke the wire short before restarting.

good luck,

jody
