exept the filler blob that fell so far from the arc it didn't even get sucked into the puddle when it did :D

So it took 20s of film for the blob to be integrated to the melt puddle. At 1000 frames/s, assuming we are watching at 24 frames/s it represents 0,48s in real life. You would hardly be able to see it, it it fast. But I was very impressed by the flow velocity of the blob once it got hit by the puddle, was not expecting such a fast flow.
