Luckily my end can was already scrap but my welding it didn't improve matters. It didnt weld anything like anything I have ever welded before.

It shouldn’t be scrap if you adopt good practice with it. Looks a good joint to sew up.The owner is happy to give it a go so I am too. He’s aware it might be scrap at the end of it.

On Cambridges doorstepWhereabouts in Cambs are you Richard? I'm just north of Peterborough.
Hi Dimitri,
Yes, that’s without clean up. Apart from the last one where I’ve ground the weld flat obvs.
I used a large gas lens, did small runs, purged for a minute or so and 10 sec post flow. Keen to do more now! What’s the technique to stop the rod sticking?
No real technique it’s just getting your feeding action right into the front edge of the pool with the right amount of heat. What size filler was you using? Dropping the filler size sometimes helps.
That rules that our then.It was 1mm, that stuff I bought off eBay.
I've seen Ti welding at less than 5 ppm O2 on ultrasonic cleaned pieces and filler, still sticking. I doubt dirt contributes to the sticking. Gotta fill hard and fast, on the leading edge of the weld pool.
Of course I've got proof to back it up. Even got certs myself. Are you qualified for the welding you offer?
Depending on the brand of plane you take, it's probably got Ti pieces designed and welded under my supervision. Do you own a performance car? Chances are precedures were written by us. My company has done consulting for medical devices. I hope you don't have a pacemaker, or I could literally get under your skin. Want proof? Follow our company LinkedIn page.
