What a pain.
Was welding the bottom of a railing (TIG) and kept getting porosity. And then more porosity. Grind. Clean metal. Inspect. Weld. Porosity. Go inside to eat and re-think life decisions. Grind. Porosity.
After trouble shooting for a while, I finally realize that the gas hose from the 'power adapter' to the hose is leaking gas. I promised a mid January delivery date. Now I get to see if my town has the part I need or if I have to pay an extremely high shipping fee to get one as soon as possible.
No big deal, just kind of lame.
