Okay, first off my welder is no where near "top of the line" (Century 80 Flux Core), but for $50 I figured I couldn't go wrong. I'm not expecting TIG quality weld appearance. My question is do you "push" the weld with the tip (right handed, moving right to left), or "draw" it? Also, is there a particular motion or pattern that gives better results? I know, practice-practice-practice, but I'd rather not pickup bad habits starting out. I've got the "Welder's Handbook", pretty much worthless in my opinion <_<
