So you just do one bead, but make sure you get penetration down to the
lower layer. It really is just an elongated rosette weld.

Well,we're back to attempting to get the lower level molten while not
burning away the upper layer. In the case of the rosette weld, I was
told to make a small hole in the upper layer, aim thru the hole, wait
until the lower layer begins to flow, then add filler, ignoring how
far back the upper layer burns back. I'll go practice. Mike



Yeah, I've been learning those as well. I found that the rod is a great
help here. when the metal underneath starts to go I start adding rod to the
edge of the hole going around the edge and voila! some of them even look
like rosettes.
