Just joined the channel. I’m an old guy that decided I wanted to learn how to TIG weld. I’m a retired Mechanical Engineer who worked in machine design for over 30 years in the electronics industry. I’m always designing something usually for my motorcycles which got me interested in how to weld aluminum. I’m trying to get up the courage to weld up a seat tray I designed for one of the bikes I built. I’m slowly improving but am struggling a little with doing 14 Ga, especially outside corners with inconsistent gaps so advise would be appreciated 🤔

I was having that problem and found that if you slowly ramp up the pedal instead of just stomping on it on starts it went away.
