Thanks for the info on how to deal with it when grinding, etc.

But, Is there anythign better than Th tungsten rods for a spark
gap?  What about Pure Tungsten or Lanthanated?

Hi Shelton,

    Any "doping" of the tungsten makes it easier for a spark to 
start and harder to stop it. IMO, a zero-sum game. If you have it, OK 
to use it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to special order it.YRMV.
