7018 open root plate test !????!!?

[skoal]

ok....my backs against the wall here....i need to pass this plate test TOMORROW!!

7018 open root on 1" plate....horizontal...vertical and overhead....all of which being backgouged or ground out and welded on the back side of the root

the overhead is a flat root and fill i believe with the backside being welded overhead after cleaned out.....the horizontal is pretty straightforward but the vertical is a vertical DOWN open root with uphand fill and again downhand cap

ive never done a plate test like this before and i need to pass....my biggest worry is the downhand 7018...it seemed to go in alright after a couple rods but i had a bit of a problem with rod sticking and porosity because of it on both the root and cap.....i dont really have a chance to practice anymore....gotta pass this thing

i would LOVE and APPRECIATE greatly any advice you guys have on any or all of the welds.....
thanks alot
