The TIG class

I am on the 3rd full day of the TIG class I am takeing. I had a big ah ha experience last night. We are working stainless steel and every time I tried to add filler it was looking burnt. I was really struggling. I use the same booth/torch/lincoln every night so far. I took the torch apart and found half an o-ring was missing. Well the instructor took my tungsten and used his 20 years experience to sharpen it. He did a demo in my booth then I took over. What a difference! Wish he would sharpen mine all the time! I will post a picture.
