| When I built Balto I first layed up the hull plating butting the joints together . When this was done and all hull plating in place we used an air arc to V groove the plate almost to its total thickness Once this was done we made a root pass welding uphand with Low High. Then followed up with two more passes until the joint was filled. On each pass we never stopped in the same place always overlapped the welds. We did this alternating from side to side. The plate thickness we used was 1/4" hull plate and 3/16 on the decks and house. Dan  |
