In this video, TJ and Gary discuss the telltale signs technicians should watch for during the weld, such as an erratic arc, porosity, or inconsistent performance, and what those signals may indicate.
You’ll also hear how issues often trace back to consumables or equipment conditions, and why maintaining your welder is just as important as proper setup and technique. Because when something feels off during the weld, it usually is.
The takeaway: consistency, awareness, and properly maintained equipment are key to successful welds.
