Reply:Joshawa,Well for the application the welds should hold together.  So if that is the question you are asking then I guess they will be okay.  But generally speaking it would be better if the "stacked dimes" were smoothed across all the way. As in one continuous weld.Here is a small picture mig welding.The machine should make a nice consistent welding sound.
