Good to hear you've sorted it out!

I'll have to file that one away for future reference... Perhaps the high-pressure flow that occurs when the solenoid opens was able to overcome the leak-rate for a second or two, then most of the gas at the set flow was leaving through the slit...

With it working right, time to turn and burn! Share some pics, when you're comfortable!

I get a similar effect if I get the filler rod too close to the tungsten
