That is, a lump made by several passes with the rod to build the bead up above the flat 1/4" plate. Question: When using a stick welder, does one need to clean the slag off the bead before one runs another bead on top of it? Putting the stick down, taking off the helmet, getting the angle grinder, grinding off the slag, putting the helmet back on, picking up the stick and finally running another bead takes awhile.
