I usually drag the tip. Yesterday I was pushing up on an exhaust pipe i was welding. Thanks for the explanation as to why i was having success with the technique.
nice explanations. question: why are you choosing to use CO2 instead of C25? do you find the CO2 gives you just as good results? when would you choose C25 instead? thanks.
CO2 is the only shielding gas we have although we have run into C25 from time to time. We've had other welders ask the same thing like why not use C25 as you can get a better bead appearance and less spatter / clean up, which may be a little more helpful for welding up railing pickets. C25 costs twice the amount of CO2. CO2 is still documented as having good thermal conductivity, so you can still get good penetration and a decent bead profile.

Cool video! Thanks👍🏻 The first part helped a lot. It helps me diagnose my practice welds
Thank you!
