Thanks Gabe I need to get more uniform. And I still don't leave my ending puddle like I'm supposed to do. Pretty good video footage huh?

Hmm, very good to have that in the knowledge arsenal. These were just practice welds and a lot of my welds had slag impregnated in them so I beat the flux out then brushed them (fast, I went so fast it was like buffing it LOL ). As my welds got better less slag was impregnated in them. I also have heard the same: "you're supposed to chip it off gently and brush or sandblast the rest."
