I'm not sure if Touch welding is the correct term, but if I were to stick weld using 6013 rods ( say 2 pieces of 6 mm together) and rather than keep the electrode 2 or 3 mm off the surface being welded, let the electrode actually touch the pieces of steel as I drag the rod (in the puddle) , would the penetration not be good enough !
I have used this method a few times and I always seem to get nice neat weld beads, a lot better looking than when doing it "properly"
I also realise there are special rods to do this with but I only use 6013 s.
