now ive only been welding for about 2 years. im a high school graduate this year and have my WABO certification for stick welding. what ive found can really help is playing with your amperage. it helps me kind of control the amount heat im putting into the material and can really make your beads vary in appearance. another key tip would be your arc length and rod angle. two very important things to learn.
