Vertical Welds

mark: Elaborate, as your question is too vague.

3F, 3G, 5G? Single pass, multi-pass?

stringer

done alot of the verticle basket weave, is the stringer style all that much different? besides tryin to keep it straight in line w/ each other,

I have a problem with crowning wwheen I use the "basket weave", I don't have any pic but does anyone know how to solve this. Seems to be too much metal, I've tried moving faster, different heats, and a few other things but can't seem to get it right

does anyone know how to solve this.

Hold a second or two longer on the sides, while moving faster across the middle.

Might even think about turning the amps up some also.
