Thanks Kent. A little better, but I need to play with the consistency of the flux to get proper coverage without it breaking the film and balling up - couple of attempts with it too thin I think.
Attempt below is with carbonated spring water, top and bottom of the coupon fluxed, as well as the rod. Only get brief flashes of molten metal as I scratch the puddle with the filler rod. Some penetration, but a bit inconsistent and too much filler on the top.
Think I need a bit more heat, move a little faster and perhaps some better flux.

Poor workman always blames the tools of course!
I've just ordered some of your super duper flux and the DVD Kent.
Hopefully it will be just like Tom and Jerry and the Rachmaninoff piano concerto deal.
