Overheard a welder at the Portland yard say he uses a 1/16-inch gap for his 7018 root passes on thick plate.
Tried it on a pressure vessel patch yesterday and the penetration was way cleaner than my usual tight fit. Anyone have a different go-to gap for stick welding roots?

Ever notice how the right small space, not just in welding, lets things work better?
