Amen, Larry. Conversely, a too- small tip requires turning up the flow
so high that the velocity out of the tip doesn't give a good weld, it
tries to blow the weld puddle around.

Subject: Re: Gas welding Do'ins
One of the problems with a new gas welder is that they use too big a tip
and
then try to turn it down. What happens then is you will have a lot of
torch
popping and back fire and burning in the mixing chamber. Use a small tip
that
will get the job done and turn up the torch this will eliminate most of
the
popping and going out.
