Care to explain the block tig master sieg?


Good question Vince --- I only use soapstone when I'm plasma cutting... so haven't TIG'd around it. The Sharpie pulls the arc offline as does a pencil mark.... I would think that the burning soapstone might just contaminate the weld. Best to just not have ANYTHING around a TIG weld I think.
