Would anyone be able to tell me why my oxy/accet welding is cracking along the weld. I am using store bought rods 5356. Thanks in advance.

How are you taking, and how and from where are you welding??
I think I know the problem post some pics of the taking and mark where you start welding from

PS you should use the same ally that you are using by just cutting a strip and use it as rod
