....unless you're welding on AC. Then it's common for the tungsten tip to reach melting temperature.

Unless you're doing pro-level work according to some WPS, don't waste tungsten. Grind the point back into shape, and polish out the rest. I doubt you'll tell the difference.
Yeah, you got a point there, nothing better than that tip dropping into the puddle and splashing on your legs :lol:

Re-grinding them should do it.

Good thing you checked it out though, sometimes weird stuff does happen :)
if there's a welder, there's a way
