NEVER use sand paper to clean Aluminum. Scotch pads & acetone work best for me.

Turns out the OP just had a bad day. His problem went away without doing anything. Like that Cold Fusion experiment that only worked once.

I've got 15 year old AL filler that works fine....me scotchbrite? Ya kiddin???
Stone knives and bearskins.....and a NEW EVERLAST 164SI !!!
That's my newly shared work welder.
At home I got a Power Tig 185 DV. Nice, but no plasma cutting... Nice tight arc after a second.
