Why might a puddle disappear?

It's a combination of absorption and evaporation. The surface the puddle is on is likely to be porous - thus some water will drain away. The surface area of a puddle is quite large - in relation to the amount of water in it. This means that heat from the sun - even a small amount - is enough to allow water to evaporate.


Which will evaporate faster a glass of water or a puddle of water?

a puddle of water will evaporate faster because it has a larger surface area that is, it has more of its moleccules in contact with the air Yes, the more air the same amount of water can cover, the faster it will evaporate. In a glass, there is much water that gets tiny amounts of air under the surface and not enough to evaporate. If the same amount of water was poured on a level flat surface (no puddle), it would evaporate very quickly.

How do you weld quarter to half inch plate without coldroll or undercut?

watch your puddle advance at a rate that will allow the puddle to still be spreading as you advance . set .045 wire at about 26 volts and wire speed at about 275 you also have to have the proper weld angle. so in reality the only way is practice practice practice
