Default Critique my welds

I welded this for my lil bro with some help from honda-tech members with their tips and it came out looking pretty good imo. Thanks guys. Any other tips will be appreciated. Finally got the rainbow out of it.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that next time. Wat's the difference anyways. Is it going to hold much stronger or does it just look better?
