How far should tungsten stick out past Cup?

Rule of thumb, if your cup is a number 6 (3/8”ID) the tungsten should not stick out pass the end of the cup by 3/8”. For wall thickness of 1” to 3” a medium 1/8” gas lens with a 3” long #6 lava cone is recommended for the root pass and a large 1/8” jumbo gas lens with #8/10 lava cone is recommended for the hot pass.
