TIG Welding Skills Rust Fast – Here's What I Found

TIG welding skills rust FAST if you don’t stay on the torch. In this video I dust off my YesWelder TIG 200P AC-DC and find out how much I’ve really forgotten – and what it actually takes to get back in shape. You’ll see real TIG welds (good and bad), what felt rusty, where muscle memory kicked back in, and the settings I used on steel and aluminum. If you’re getting back into TIG after a break, this is what you can expect. I’m using the YesWelder TIG 200P AC-DC for this practice session and walking through DC TIG, AC TIG, and pulse TIG to rebuild those skills. If you’re a beginner, or just getting back into TIG after a long break, I hope this helps you see what’s “normal” and what to focus on in your own practice.
