No weave for me either. It's fairly blazing in spray transfer and you have to move quick. I run my torch in at nearly a 45 degree angle with about a 1 to 1.5cm arc. If I have it too close I find I too much buildup of spatter in the nozel. With the torch at this angle you can see what the pool is doing and push it right into the root of the fillet.

I've never been much of a weaver anyway. The only time I really do is a second pass, the root run is usually straight in to try and get the best penitration. I'm just a back yard welder but I think being able to watch and carefully control the pool is the key to getting a good result.

Cheers
