Gotcha, thought so but may I see don’t so thought I’d ask. I did 😀, slowly getting better. It helps having a helmet I can actually see the weld happening vice a bright spot where I’m hoping to weld.

I could tell in mine from dry to greased. I’ve always ran them dry. Also hoping this will help there be no chance of the torsion bolt backing out.
