[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 388500, member: 13534"] Welding... You want full on then.. Use a 3.2 6013 rod with the rod connected to the positive. When you strike up, make a little weld pool and fuse both edges before you set off. Once going keep the rod jammed in the very corner, actually very lightly touching the plate. You will then most likely need a second run next to it [making the horizontal leg longer than the vertical] and then a third run in the "new" corner if you like, only this time a slightly, and i mean slightly longer arc length. You want it to look like this...
