Do auto body shops / certified welders / etc, have some secretive oath they take and swear by death never to reveal?
I think practice & lot's of patience helps... but not much.

Big part---heat and wire speed and then technique
There's no secret oath, you just have to be able to see when the melt down is coming, skip ahead a bit before it happens, and come back quick. Perfect fit is key. **** I'm a horrible teacher, don't listen to me.

you can pop it in, make a tack, stop for 5 sec, then a tack just ahead of the one you just made, making sure that they overlay fully. this is the noob way of doing it. If you are doing a ton of sheetmetal work i would set up a hardwire setup. with a small wire....

it sucks cause i like to weld thick ****. like 1/2 inch. thats what i use for all my suspension mounts on my truck. just because i can burn it with out punching through. all about penetration... thats funny, isn't that what life is about too? penetration...
