OUT DAMN CUSP!
OUT DAMN CUSP!
(OP)
Crash course in lofting, almost there, but I can't get a cusp out of my surface, it follows the line I noted in the screenshot. SWX won't let me use a guide curve that goes between 2 points on the same profile, which it seems would solve the problem. Any suggestions? Greatly appreciated.

Can you attach your sldprt here?
One approach might be to get it all enclosed - then Knit solid.
Then Delete the face(s) and replace with a filled surface and re-knit.

Mostly different iterations in the sketch that goes around the top.
I'll have to model a similar case that represents the same problem to keep it safe.

Profiles were the loops around the top and bottom, guide curves connected the two.
Changed it, modeled as a 1/2 section
the lines that were guide curves, made them profiles
used the top and bottom as guide curves, no more cusp.
Made a boundary surface for the fillet that runs out at the end.

Also, you are using a funky border edge to define your loft. Reconsider whether these are the curves that should actually define the u-v curves of your loft surface. Ideally, you would define a loft larger than you need with tamer u-v contours and then trim.
