Ya the " stacked dime" look is stupid, craters like the moon, and cracking, I weld with c02 at home, hot and fast, no bead look at all, it flat and smooth. But when you weld right with a continues bead, and a certain gas, you will get ripples and have that effect which is fine. Just triggering it in, to get that is stupid.
Couldn't agree with ya more! I also run 100% CO2 at home. Its cheap and runs hotter. Has more splatter than 75/25 or 85/15 but all around, it works pretty good.
