I've previously addressed each of the fundamentals so that's why it's puzzling me. I know I must be close because sometimes I get formation of a shiny starting puddle that bridges both surfaces and I start dabbing with the filler and produce a sort of normal bead if I don't let the heat build up too much. I do know that most of my beads were too hot because I can see the pooch out on the underside of the material and I maybe should be traveling faster with my torch.
