Stop in for a cup of coffee

Stick welding really depends on what rod your using....I have not stick welded for so long I forget the rod to use.
6011 is what we call farmer rod, burns thru rust and paint, white flux! 6010 for pipe red flux. 7018 for better strength needed applications gray flux but is picky about wanting clean metal. And if you are not handy it is difficult to run vertical. Bring back the memories?
