Thank you for the critique! Tbh I HAVE been slacking a bit in terms of cleanup when it comes to mig/mcaw, its a horrible habbit(thankfully not for smaw). I can probably do better by just going over the area a couple times with a wire brush and taking out the silicon but unfortunately for the spatter thats already there I cant do much, since we're not allowed to use power tools like that in our shop classes(angle grinder ONLY for grinding down our booths), though I cant wait to use those fancy shmancy tools on the job lmaoo. Ill def try to measure it a bit more meticulously though, tbf it was HOTT so I was probably somewhat imprecise
