4 Key Points of Welding:

1. Heat > How many amps you set your welder at.

2. Angle > The angle in degrees that your welding rod is to the welding path you wish to travel.

3. Distance > The distance the tip of the welding rod is off of the molten puddle as you are welding.

4. Speed > The speed of travel while moving along the desired welding path.

Practice, Practice..... always good to do a practice bead first on a piece of scrap metal to make sure you have your heat and rod selection right, just before you lay down that nice bead on the project you are welding.
