Step down to thin rod, like 1/16 and smaller tungsten (1/16” ) and cup size. That will help a lot. Smaller puddle and more control with the smaller electrode, and smaller filler will melt in easier. Basically you want to scale your consumables to the material.
Playing with your balance to be on more of the cleaning side rather then the penetration side will help a lot too

3/32". I've done a bit of AL tig before, but this is my first time on thin tubing.
Thicker stuff and training on flat plates is easy, but the positioning and fit up for this tube is a real bear.
