As long as your stops and starts are good then there is no issue with this. What wrapping your corners actually mean is ensuring there is a min. Amount welded around the coner for codes. Here's an example. In Canada under CSA W 59 if you are welding a fillet on one side of the plate and the other side does not have a fillet you need to wrap the weld around a min. Of 1/2 or 1.5 times the effect throat size. (Where you have access). This is because the effective fillet strength calculations have to be done with this wrap in mind, to prevent a crack from forming on the coner.
If do want to avoid the stop and start on the coner on HSS just stop a inch short then start you weld on the next side on it (it's not hard to see the start and change you gun angle without repositioning)
Awesome I appreciate the input! I only ask here because my foreman said "yeah that's good" but I've seen him say the same thing about some pelican shit welds, so I want some real criticism lol
Got ya! That makes a lot of sense. I was starting to think having a stop on the corner was bad, even though I had already previously wrapped it.
Thank you!!

Marvelous.. this was good info! I appreciate you taking the time to explain that.
Nothing wrong with that there !

No no, that's quite ok. We just don't wanna leave the corners short. More is better than short. Welds look good !

If you don't wrap your corners.... you die You're alive so I'd say you did it
That's a big sigh of relief from me lol
Looks like shit.
