This is also why blowing a tabulation hole in the middle of the piece can be
useful. Anyone still
do that? I have the hardest time when I have to get the blob of mercury buy
an electrode with a mica shield...almost makes me whant to yank that little
piece of mica out of the electrode. Lately 
I have been just letting the mercury vaporize slower...Seems to me if there
is a problem, and I cannot get the blob of mercury past the mica, could I
not just put the tube back on the bombarder and give it a couple of seconds
at .05-.01 to vaporize the mercury? or is this a bad idea, and would I just
reverse what I was trying to do and make the tube unevenly vaporized?
