What kind of scotchbrite is he using? A quick google and it looks like 3m is using scotchbrite for a whole line of products. If someone uses scotchbrite closer to the arc, do they even need a gas lens collet body? Looks like the close the diffuser to the arc, the better it works.
Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?
