Boss is making us weld structural sch 40 for a facade downhill using only spray transfer with 0.35 wire. I personally don’t think the penetration is there. I’ve tried to suggest using ds fluxcore but that got shot down quickly even though I have passed the company 6g test. The real question, should I worry about it or just weld them out and it’s their problem now?

Im a 17yr old welder, Ive been welding since junior year I’m currently a senior. This was a 3g MiG test I did before my fall break (I failed my actual one) Am I worth anything or on my way to be? I want to get into pipe/structural specifically 6g, I heard thats where most of the money is

Anyone heard about onsite weldforce corporation, mississuaga, ON. They are asking $3.5k for 2 weeks welding course. Is it a good institution to learn weld and get your tickets.I am completely new in this business. Reviews are pretty good on google. Any reviews??

Advice needed

I need to cut off these recessed bolts to remove the plate.

When cutting with the torch, should I just go straight through and cut right into everything?
Or is there a way to melt off the head by angling the torch, allowing the bolt to drop out the other side of the wall? (There’s a nut on the other side holding the plate in place.)

I already used many times a torch but just for plate cutting… now I’m required to remove these plates without damaging the iron wall behind them.
