This isn't a mistake—it's just physics! Every beginner faces this when they first start out. The trick isn't stopping the metal from shrinking; it is learning how to anticipate that pull and compensate for it during your initial fit-up. That is exactly what you learn with time and reps in the booth. Keep grinding! 💯🛠️🔥

A few cold spots and a tie-in that needs some work, but overall, it's a solid bead. This is what it's all about—getting real-time feedback from an instructor who knows what to look for and how to fix it. Keep grinding and those small adjustments will make all the difference. 💯🛠️🔥

If you have the grit to answer the call, build a legacy, and earn your keep, put your hood down and get to work. 🇺🇸🛠️🔥

Stop letting your machine boss you around. 🛑

A lot of guys forget that getting comfortable is only half the battle—your settings have to match your speed. If your dig is cranked up and you're rushing the pass, 7018 is just going to chew up your base metal. Slow your roll, let the puddle widen out, and don't be afraid to run it a little hot.

Are you a fan of running arc control on 7018, or do you keep it at zero? 👇
