Your tungsten should be really pointed.... and turn that heat down! That's the beauty of TIG -- The Control -- Are you using a foot pedal? Just get the arc started -- back off and throttle into it until your puddle starts to form then back off.

I like to modulate the pedal... personally -- but everyone has a different style.

Also -- what sizes are you using??
