I was particularly interested to be able to actually SEE the cleaning action of the AC - the oxide was shrinking away - never seen that on film before.

Thanks Andrew
It is not easy to video a weld pool
The people that can do it wont tell you how its done
(but now I know the secret) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Yep, definitely want to be using gloves  :lol:

Just out of curiosity, what colour electrodes are you using? I've found the gold-top or blue-top to be best for Al, and red (the radioactive ones) ideal for steel.

I also frequently dip the tungsten in the weld pool, or on the rod, and my reaction is pretty similar to yours. I've got quite good at "rejuvenating" the tungsten with a small hammer, without  removing it from the torch...

Hi
I am using Red for DC and White for AC
I want to try some grey ones (lathinated) seemingly they will work on both

(Is it to focus before taping the smoked glass on?)

Nice video though, they're helping take the mystery out of TIG. Especially with the great through-the-visor shots.
