John,
Thanks for sharing that. I always hear "no arc strikes" but looking at bends like that really shows me why. Thanks.

Wow that hammers home a point. Good pics! And good test too. As a general repair welder you sometimes can't help but make a few arc strikes for the places you need to reach into but I never understood the severity of it. Always as a professional welder you are trying to make a good impression and arc strikes all over the place are not a way to do it. Does anybody know a good way to rectify them if 6 out make one by accident or due to cramped quarters etc...?
