Reply:Nice one... What i will say, in the first picture next to the little cluster of spatter you seem to have slightly adjusted the wire angle causing that little dip, looks like you took a breath.So to sum up, stop breathing and try to keep a uniform angle and you'll be ace Metaltrades.co.uk
Reply:Thats a great looking weld for 20g. I have seen a lot worse by people who weld all the time.Miller DVI2Lincoln Precision Tig 225Thermodynamics Cutmaster 38Everything else needed.

Reply:Looks like more than enough weld to hold together 20gI like to play some good old rock n roll and weld to the beat.  Country dosn't seem to work for me.Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.

Reply:I'm not sure if you think im john but there was no warpage. Just a single pass on one side so there was enough heat to warp it.-Justin.6G zirconium 702 GTAW 2" xxheavy6G P.E.D. carbon steel GTAW 2" xxheavy3G titanium Gr. 2 - Gr. 7 GTAW up to 3/4" 3G 316L stainless GTAW up to 1" 3G carbon steel GTAW up to 1" 3G Hastalloy GTAW up to 3/4"1G tantalum GTAW up to .060"
