Following the Bubble - Kevin Caron

From http://www.kevincaron.com - Whether you call it a "bubble," "dot" or "spot," watching the top of the weld as it cools and keeping it equidistant from the tip of the welder as you advance helps you create a great weld.

nice video, is this the way you allways weld? im used to weld a bit differend with mig,

i usaly go back and forward with the tool like ZZZZ

[kevincaron]

@morgorth3242 Yeah, that's how I weld. Being self-taught has let me learn from my mistakes. If I am welding a large joint or want to grind the weld smooth I will make a larger weld. Either from a z or y pattern like you are talking about or just turn up the wire feed.
