- As soon as the work surface
- liquifies, bring the welding rod
- into the puddle and apply the
- flame to the rod. Use the shadow
- of the rod to protect the work
- from excess heat. Move quickly
- to the left to develop the bead.
- Keep the torch very close to the
- work. Use torch motion only if
- necessary. After an inch, stop
- to let the work cool. This will
- prevent total collapse of the
- work. Total puddlification is
- unrecoverable.
