Finally got that lattice boom repair right after 3 tries

I was dead set against using the preheat method my coworker kept pushing, but after warping the second weld I gave in. Turned out he was right - 250 degrees made the crack disappear completely. Anyone else have a stubborn habit that cost you extra work?

250 degrees? I can't believe that little heat did the trick after two failed attempts. I would have bet my last dollar that preheating was overkill for a lattice boom repair. Man, your coworker must have felt like a genius when you finally caved in.

Sometimes you gotta learn the hard way that your coworker was right all along.
