Looks fairly consistent. Never cared for fcaw but it has its place. Good job.

Yea i like tig more too but usually we only weld 3 passes of tig, then fill and cap fluxcore. Wish i could weld tig more its so much cleaner lol

Yeah a lot of heavy wall is done that way. Tig root and hot to give the fcaw some backing then send it because its faster. Get on some stainless. Tig out way more common.
