Hot take: Guys at the metal shop share the best welding tips over coffee

I pick up more useful tricks during morning breaks than in any training session. One old timer showed me how to spot a weak seam just by the sound of a hammer tap. That kind of stuff sticks with you.

Heard my buddy learned to fix porosity just by watching the puddle color during coffee chat. Said it changed his whole weld game overnight.

Describe the color shifts he saw. How did that help him fix porosity right away?

Wait, he could actually see porosity forming from the puddle color? That sounds like some kind of superpower. I've only ever spotted it after the fact when cleaning the bead. Catching it live would change everything.
