Hot Pass & Fill TIG Welding Technique That Instantly Improves Your Welds

Master the hot pass and fill TIG welding technique that instantly improves root reinforcement and overall weld quality. In this video, I break down an efficient method that combines the hot pass and fill pass in one controlled motion — perfect for pipe welding in the field or shop.

You’ll see how lay-wire, constant feed, backfeed, and dipping techniques all work together to build a smooth, solid, and defect-free weld. This approach helps improve penetration, reduce internal defects, and increase consistency across pipe joints.

Whether you’re refining your TIG welding fundamentals or looking to speed up your workflow, this tutorial gives you real-world techniques, clear guidance, and practical insights that every welder can use. With repetition and proper setup, mastering the hot & fill technique becomes an invaluable skill for achieving cleaner, stronger welds.
