Thanks guys! I really appreciate the tricks of the trade input. I was experiencing build up when the spacing tightened up using the alternating method. I'll try the sequential mode in my next lesson.
Nit-picking - I wish my little Lincoln 135+ used a numerical scale for amperage vs. the A-B-C-D, it reminds me of dialing a phone number by alphabet.
I also need to fab a "water dobber bottle" as the damp towel method makes the procedure even slower. I have a felted wool area rug with 1/2" dia. tufts that may work as a donor.
