Root pass simply refers to the 1st pass in any weld process, which
makes the two members being welded, one structure. Subsequent passes
increase the weld depth to the desired thickness, yielding the necessary
strength.
The root pass is the first pass on an open joint, usually when welding
pipe and mild steel. It is usually used as a first pass that will provide the
base for subsequent filler passes. Since it is bridging a gap it may be done
with a quick freezing rod with a cellulosic flux like 6010 or 6011. Some of
the root may be ground away to eliminate any voids and laid over with a low
hydrogen rod such as 7018 until the weld is completed.

Stringer bead brushes have narrower knots twisted from base to tip, making
them better suited to penetrate tighter spaces like corners, fillets, and root
pass welds during cleaning. Remember, the tips of wire brushes do the work, so
using appropriate pressure is key to performance and efficiency.
1. Using the angle grinder, clean root pass free from slag.
2. Clean all trapped slag and porosity
3. Redefine the groove face to serve as outline your filling pass
4. Repair porosity or pinholes with E6011

Perform Capping
The final weld bead in the in a weld joint. It may be completed in the
form of a stringer bead or by waving a motion back and forth.
Keep your electrode angle pointed to the center of the groove at all times
with very few exceptions.
Keep your arc length as short as possible.
If possible, drag your electrode slightly no matter what the position is. Most
people will disagree with this but it works for me because it keeps the slag
behind the puddle. Once you build a shelf of weld then you can drag.
Only move forward and side to side with the electrode otherwise the weld
will become rough.
When the steel plates gets to hot let it cool down or put on a vice grip to lean
on.
Make sure you fuse the bevels edge by pushing the toe of the weld into it.
Overlap stringer beads from at least 25% to a maximum of 50%. The goal is
for the weld to have a single flat profile when finished.

Return demonstration using performance criteria checklist.
