STICKWELD 140STL Proper weld identification: Overlap and undercutting are two main causes of weld failure. Proper washing of the weld bead into the sides or “toes” of the weld is important. Keep the welding electrode or the TIG tungsten and welding arc within the weld joint to prevent overlap. Pausing on the sides of the welds to wait for the sides to fill reduces the chance of undercutting, even if the current is a little too high.
