I'm not having any problems with it at the moment HM. I was just wondering if asahartz had found a different modification to the three listed on this page:

A bit like pulsing a food blender rather than just holding it flat out.. you get better results for some reason (ah well, thats 'cos the food drops back down around the blades I hear the cooks saying!)

This a good technique when filling in holes, by building up a seam around the edge and then moving in till its filled...

Sounds like a good tip, thanks for that. Got the same tip off Jamesc76 when I saw him at Black Lion meet this wknd.

I'd be interested to know what modification you did? I can't find it on the welduk website.

E D I T: think I might've found it now, was it this?

Yes, that's the one - like the one on your welding forum, but it's made for the job. WeldUK is local to me; he trades from the back of his house (in Pinxton, Notts - I know there are a few others near here too!), so I go round and pick up the stuff I need.
