Aluminium, arc wandering at startup - MichaelSmith - 05-23-2018

Hello,

I give a first try to aluminum today.. Clean with an SS brush and acetone. I'm using 3/32 2% lanth that I balled. Balance is at 35% I have an Everlast that work backwards.( so 65% ), 120hz. And when I hit the pedal, the arc is unstable and moving around the tip until the puddle is created. After that its going ok, but at the end, when i slow down the amp, the arc stop instead of getting smaller.. Here's a few pictures of the test..
any input?

Please help

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
