Hi Brant,
Glad it was helpful! Getting proper penetration is a function of carrying enough heat. Sometimes you can run pretty hot, and use the welding rod dabbing in and out of the puddle to absorb some of the heat, keeping blow through from happening. Practice! i also dip the torch in and out to control heat. I still look at the back of every weld and sometimes do a little fusion (just the torch, no rod) touch up welding to get good tie-ins and weld areas that did not get enough penetration.
