Welds always begin with       "Material has to be CLEAN CLEAN A good prep starts with a weld
prepping                                   CLEAN"                                           that doesn't have anything in the
                                                                                                            way
   
                                                                                                                  I would have to agree and it is seen through other sources to that
they all say the same thing.



                                                "No mill scale"                                   Mill scale relates to cleanliness
                                                                                                            and would be in the way

To complicate how do we define a
clean enough metal to weld on?
does it only start with scale or is
there more to it


Weld prep does not make up  "I also try to prep my material the          A good start to making an
for bad welding                        same every time that way I know         established variable that doesn't
                                                  if the weld looks like crap it is not       change
                                                 because of prep"
                                                                                                                 To complicate I would ask to
see what scientific tests have been
done with controlled variables and
manipulated variables

Weld prep is an important      "Contaminents may result in             Cleaning on every source is stated
step                                           instability or contaminated               but not explained
                                                  welds"                                              
   
                                                                                                                  I would have to agree and it is seen through other sources to that
they all say the same thing, but 
is never operationally defined the 
same way every single time



                                                "Clamp may be required"                     Prep may not only what you do
                                                                                                              to the metal, but also the part as
                                                                                                              a whole

I would have to agree that it would
be near impossible to weld to items
together if the distance between
the two parts is too great


Angle of weld will sometimes  "When moving hold your torch         Radiating heat is better from a
make up for sloppy prep             at 70 degrees and wire 20                 direct angle and thus can make
                                                                                                              up for a bad angle prep

                                                                                                              A balance between the skill and
                                                                                                              the prepper is what is truly
                                                                                                             needed, but good weld prep
                                                                                                             appears to be more step by step
