Looking through the Gap Technique - Houston Texas 2019 - South Coast Welding Academy - Weldtube

I am in Houston Texas at South Coast Welding Academy doing the Looking through the Gap technique, which was taught to me in 2010/2011 by my Piping Superintendent "Mike Ho" who was a Welder from Brunei 🇧🇳 or, atleast he took training from Brunei Institute. Got his B Pressure ticket in 1980. When I worked at the JV Drivers Fab shop, you either welded using this technique or you didn't weld there. Mike taught me on 18" carbon Piping using 5/32 filler metal, with a slight 1/16 land.
since then, I have showing as many Welders I could this particular technique because it has made me better, and in the very beginning helped me learn Inconel better.

How are you avoiding your auto lens from flashing when looking through the gap?

I dont wear auto lenses, I had a fixed shade lens

I was taught this technique in 2010/2011 using 5/32 and a 3/16 gap., but had 1/16 land on 20" Piping. Just how we were taught years ago.
