Re: Which welding rods do you use?

I am strictly a hobbyist, and I use 7014 and 6013. Both in 3/32". They both run great on AC, and don't require an oven. I keep some 6011 on hand but I don't think I've used it in over a year. I have read many posts about using 7018 without oven storage, but the times I have tried it, I get visi...

Re: Yamaha RD 500 custom pipes
