I tried some butt welding practice on a small scrap of rusty steel I cut in two today just for fun.
Welder: Lincoln (Harris) PortaTorch.
Tip : #1
Rod: RG45 1/16
Pressure: about 2 lbs of Ace and Oxy
Metal thickness: about that of a Quarter.
Notice side 2 is more smoothed out. I practiced that technique, of running the puddle with the torch. Hit it with a hammer, and bent the base metal.
I will get better with practice.
