Yeah, you got a point there, nothing better than that tip dropping into the puddle and splashing on your legsOscar wrote:....unless you're welding on AC.

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.
Re-grinding them should do it.
Good thing you checked it out though, sometimes weird stuff does happen
