You stand a better chance of contaminating the stainless. A trick I use is to lay your gun on the edge of your cup at quite an angle. Take your filler rod and lay it on the material and roll it to start the arc. Make sure you have the filler touching the material or you can get a jolt though...

Try it a little different...
Try a lift arc method. Just touch the tungsten to the piece, pause and lift. A little practice and you'll get the hang of it. There's not as big a chance of contamination and more precise.
