totally agree. I subscribe to weldingtips&tips on youtube and his main tips were about getting comfy, pre-plan ur movement for each weld, keep a tight arc.
welding around pipe fittings continously is very hard cos whenever I position this MIG gun overhead at some awquid angle, the weight and stiffness of the thick cable tends to snag/pull it down as I try to hold my position, and the slightest snag really puts me off so I'd have to stop. fact that I really can't see where to weld towards so I'm welding blind (cos the helmet over-tints) doesn't help.
few reason why I favour this spot welding method I've always used is cos it controls heat very well for thin stuff and inbetween each spot weld while it cools, the helmet un-tints and I can see the next area to weld.
