Well, for those of you that haven't taken lessons from my dad in telling me how incompetent and worthless I am, and actually want to help, here's the latest, I tried a few different things and figured out I had a LOT of possible things going on, mostly due to my inexperience. First and foremost, my guess is too much heat, too much stickout, and lack of experience on what to do when the puddle "breaks" on the back side. Below is a pic I took after making another pass over what was a really bad pass. other than a little yip in the middle of the weld, it looked better than what I was getting. below that is what the tungsten looked like after that weld. It's 2% Lanthanated.
