[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1605973, member: 26138"] What brand is everyone using? Been using Forney 6013 3/32 for the thin stuff and 6011 1/8 and 5/32 for everything else. A couple years ago something changed with the 6013s, went from a black carton to red, and I had a lot of trouble with them. Just get weld on both sides of the joint and a puddle of slag in the middle. Had to go back and fix a lot of welds that cracked from them. I have tried 7014s and felt like they left a pretty scabby/crappy weld if the steel wasn't clean, and I had difficulty running them vertical. The local farm store stopped carrying Forney altogether and switched to KT. Those rods are junk all the way around, even the 6011s. I just finished off my last 50lb box of Forneys, so I'm looking at different options. [/QUOTE]
