Tried welding stainless for the first time today. Melts really easily, but that means its also easy to overheat. I had some issues with distortion on the thinner plates, and adding too much filler on the thicker stuff (it melts easily into the weld pool, so you end up adding too much filler when there was plenty already there). Aside from that, I got a couple decent practice passes in. Nothing in the weld-porn genre yet, but not bad for my first time on the torch with SS.
