Set the pedal aside and learn control from technique. You can refine it later with a control.3 hrs in a month if evenly spread is great for concept, its not a lot of time for actual motor control skills to become automatic during learning. You would likely see some help from visualizing this 5 mins a day also.
I can see you have the general technique, simply needs refinement and a little risk that comes from practice, a bit of repeated instruction over a month,,, like a coach with a golf swing.
I have seen people get this in 30 days that are world class, 19 yr old kids you wouldnt let rmove a sliver cause they are 2 dumb weld pipe at your nuke. Seem them from compentant to outright gifted ************ to work. Super eyesight, super hands like a surgeon, brain the size of a pea but a million dollar coach, train them to do this one little thing.
If I was a woman wanting a job I would have to seriously consider being a tig welder if I didnt have a passion elsewhere. Train for a year or 2 at some equipment company where you got practice and it became aoutomatic and then find some gig where I could stand around and twirl the torch while everyone admired most of the day. Maintenance deal in a power plant or something. Made the most money I ever made working for someone else doing this doing the least work I have ever done while no one really seemed to care. Whats not to love about that.
