metalfab, knock of the slag & wire brush.... then tilt plate toward lens to give better view of weld. Hope this helps, Paul

Hi paul,

The slag is not there, atleast, not on the weld itself. I took the photo just to should the height difference.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question. I'm just a rookie at wire welding.

I have yet to run any flux core. Is that much spatter to be expected with it? I guess that is the point you are making.

Your weld beads look nice and straight.

Have a great day,
Doc

Thats about half the splatter shown in the photo, remember also that I ran the 6 beads about 1" apart so there would be more splatter than normal.
