Jack, did they shoot wood bullets at your wood tank? As to weld prep, for butt
welds, need to be "v" out to something like a rod diameter at the bottom of
the weld? Then make multiple passes to refill the plates? Been a long time
since I welded anything like that though. Was your Bradlet miged with a person
or automatic welding? Just curious.
We welded the International Space Station habitable volumes together using a
process called VPPAW or Variable Pulse Plasma Arc Welding. Really pretty
welds, cost like a sum gun though...

What percentage penetration is optimum, is there a correct weld prep? The
nuke pipe example sounds perfect. Bradley tanks are 11/2"-3"alum. miged,
except the ones I made, which were wood. jack
