This video shows padding beads with short circuit mig.
This is a great way to get practice without burning up a bunch of metal.
I used 3/16" thick steel for this video but 11ga steel is thick enough using the same exact settings I listed here.
There are plenty of opinions out there on whether you should push our pull but I have tested so many welds that I am confident that both push and pull work fine as long as the angle is not extreme.

There are subtle differences but the main differences I notice are ...
I can see where I am going better with push angle
I can see the puddle better with a pull angle and I usually see more spatter with pushing.
