out-of-position welding - Puddles?

Posted by McNugget on July 03, 2012 at 06:47:05 from (208.87.137.231):

Need some advice on out-of-position welding. I have a trusty old Forney AC welder (250A) and some skill at welding if everything is clean, flat, and straight down. I don"t want to weld overhead, but I could use some tips on vertical welding. Top down or bottom up? Any rod better than another in this case? Tweak the amps up or down a hint?

I try to wrestle whatever I am welding so it is arranged so I look down on it when I can. That gets harder to do when the implements get bigger! I know it takes practice, however I am looking for hints to start off right. (OK, I am cheap and hate to burn up too much rod just playing around...)
