I damn near did myself the other day. I was doing a 3g flux core and 6g TIG. I’ve done so much flux core, the guy was showing me welds n shit in the shop and I was like oh yeah no problem, I can make em look like that dead ass asleep. It was just 3/8 so I had a root in it (ran it a little colder than I wanted/expected to. Different machine and brand wire so I went on the safe and cold side) then I ran my normal settings 25/300, and got two little spots of undercut (maybe 1/16) but it looked like lack of fusion, the guy givin the test was like “just run another one up that side” I said fuck that imma grind her flat, re groove and not fuck it up this time, lol. Both weld tests (as well as the 1g stick tube visual) shot beautiful on X-ray. But it was still a humbling moment. None of us are perfect no matter what anyone says
