Re: Bubbles in the bead



I'm only a newby TIGer, but the 2nd bead from the top looks pretty good
except for the "fish eye" at the end. That only means you pulled too
quick without sliding back on current. I would think that if you could
get that 2nd bead once, you can do it again with the same material.
Seems to be a practice issue more than dirt.
