open root

[mjz6150]

How many welders have done open root test w/ dual shield wire for ship yard welding, The plates are 3/8 or 1/2 inch beveled 2G and 3G. I'm curious as too doing it w/ a weave at first or run a stringer to the side a little letting the puddle back fill as i go , anyway some thoughts to this process, thx.

Will need to weave on the root pass for the 3G upward progression. Stingers to fill and cover.
