I did three passes of weld. The first was from the inside. I then gouged out with the grinder. Then did a second pass straight into the root. I set the machine to a slightly higher power that I know produces undercut on a normal fillet weld of that thickness. But, as it was straight down into the root, I wanted good penetration. This took the weld to be about flush with the hull. Then I did a third standard fillet weld on the normal setting to produce this final weld bead. Its done at last and I feel as if I have reached a milestone at this point. |
