@kevincaron very good video though. Helped a lot i do like the letting the tip melt instead of dabbing.

@kevincaron I am currently taking classes for welding and when you weld the filler rod and pull the gun back your contaminating the weld in that spot because the gas isn't there. Just like having to hold the gun over for a second after you end your arc for post flow.

@80MOOSE08 I did a video on this subject. In my opinion, yes, it does help. If you check in your manual that came with your machine it will probably show you how to sharpen them.

@60pedrolivecom Thanks. I taught myself to TIG weld in about 10 minutes. I am still getting better at it. Figure another 10 to 15 years and I can call myself great...

I've had roughly 2 years of TIG experience now, more aluminum than anything. I've had better luck with just dabbing filler instead of letting the wire hang in front of the arc. I just think dabbing gives a better looking weld. But its all personal preference, and like you, I taught myself how to TIG. Good video and keep em up

@GameFishermen Glad to meet another self-taughter. Anyway you get the filler down is great. Long as the weld holds and the holes are filled, it's all good in my book. With my work the beads are almost always ground smooth anyways.

Good idea with holding/feeding the filler rod. I hadn't thought of that, I'll give it a go. Still works OK with the gloves on?

@stillbashingmetal Works fine with the gloves. Just takes a little more finger pressure to hang on to the rod. Practice practice practice....
