I’m having trouble getting more reinforcement on the bottom 6 o clock it’s a 1/16 and flush in some places. I’m at 90 amps 1/8 tungsten 1/8 70r6 rod schedule 40 3/16 gap. I tried pushing more rod but then I get cold wire.

Reply:Are you stuck with those particular parameters as far as setup goes?Have you ran a hot pass over that root?
Reply:No I’m just practicing on my pipe welding this is how I was told to start. Yes I did run a hot afterwards but it didnt help with the reinforcement any.
