Enrique, What Going on, 232, I hate to tell you this but I don't run 232 I run 233,5/64 Diameter, only in Overhead and vertical only, All my flat and horizontal welding is done by NR305, But if I have a welded connection that has a little bit of flat I will run it, Is 27 V, 200ft lead, That's how I judge my settings if I am running 50' of welding lead I probably will be in 24 V25V I really don't know I have to experiment, You should have 3/4 of stick out, Work on your angle of your goose neck, Make sure you hold your sides till it fills out, don't be afraid of it you have to be f****** patient, I don't think you'll have a problem at all what you DID with the dual shield you're unstoppable!

[@davidseanmacdonald1470]

I was always told that when doing your bottom flange, not to build up one side at a time. So after my root, I'd put 2 passes on one side, 3 on the other, bouncing back and forth while avoiding stopping the weld at one spot.

Hey 👋. Northern Michigan here. Question, how often do they QC the welds? Is it every weld? Also, are you required to run Flux core? Or could you use SMAW? I'm guessing you guys use the Flux core due to speed....just curious. I know wire is much faster. Again...just curious. Welding is where it is at! I feel like I'm to old now to change careers...I weld as much as I can on the side. I get discouraged sometimes thinking about what could have been if I had been given the opportunity to learn the trade through the high school I attended back in the nineties. I tell myself....better to have learned it late in my life than to have never learned it at all. Happy welding friend. May Abba Father have mercy on us all.
