I recon the pulse will only work in the AC setting.
You can get the bow out with heat if your patient enough.
I'm with you mate a thick bit of plate is much easier. I found the transition to tig a bit of a pain. I'm used to laying on a nice big fillet with the mig or arc then going to squinting to try see this little tiny weld that looks like it will break if you sneeze on it :laughing-rolling: I found the smaller the better with stainless, zero gap and no filler if I can get away with it but the shit will still pull.
Was the pin hole you were chasing at the end of your weld? I found the best way to stop that pin hole right at the end was too turn up the post flow on your gas and sort of lift the torch up a bit to flare the arc just before the arc stops. Make sence?
Good luck with it mate and hope it doesn't give ya too much greef.
