Weather its a 1G or a 4F try pinning the rod end down against the material being welded. Make sure to keep your rod at a 30* angle from the end point. You will find this to have great penetration leaving a nice even bead. best of all the technique does all the work for you. You wont have to worry about keeping a smooth travel speed because as the electrode burns it travels too.
