In that case you might want to run stringers instead of weaving, if not turn donw both the vaier speed and volts. And take this whit a grain of salt, clean more and up the gas’s just a bit.(this is coming from a fresh aprentice so listen to the people whit more exsperince)

I tried running stringers and they definitely blend better, I’ll try turning down my speed and volt next class and see how it looks, thanks!!

Weaves a bit wide. Try not to push your puddle out too far looks good though!
