My employer says no problem got another job to send you on in about a week go up to yard do odd welds for mechanics and practice when not busy !!!!! OK
Next week go take next test and BAM!!!!!! same sh** OK on visual, bust on bends same story gas pockets . standard test 12" 6g butt & 12" branch. 1/8 root, 5's rest of way. I use a whip tech. on my hot thru cap. Can one of the gurus on pipelinin' give me some input. Employer run me off till next job he gets, that I can test for
