I haven’t welded but from what I’ve seen of framebuilders discussing it, doing one side first will pull the tube to the side and out of straight (obviously) but then moving on to the other side won’t pull with the same degree because the original weld has added rigidity so you still end up with the tube pulled slightly toward the original weld

Thanks a lot for your answer!
regarding Filler: My first trys have been with the same filler. I'm having a hard time utilizing 1.6mm since it`s so thick (Hard to handle for me in the already tight-spaces) Prob. just takes practice... I've ordered 1.2mm. rod to see if I can handle it better. (Shouldn't be a too much noticeable diff. tho...)
My first trys have been doing the sides first to affect the geo-relevant angles the least than first the angles which need less heat. --> should add less distortion...
That's what I've been doing. However I doubt that method because pretty much everyone seems to do the central plane first...
