See if they stock 6011.
Very similar in action to 6010, but can run on A.C. as well as lower voltage.

A quick search appears to show that 6011 electrodes aren't that common in the UK, especially in smaller quantities.
I only bought 10 of the 6010 rods, just to try out. Given that I much prefer 6013 or 7018, I don't think I'll be getting any more 6010 any time soon.

The 6010 when run hot, work good for cutting.

Carbon arc gouging too
The 60xx cellulose rods require a specific program that most inverters don't have as standard. Otherwise the arc will go out during welding when the voltage drops.
I'm guessing that USA spec inverters have that program as standard.
I'd love to try out 60xx rods but I don't think any of my welders would run them apart from maybe the oil cooled Pickhill.
I think the Murex Vodex were a partly rutile and partly cellulose rod but listed as a 6013. I know it's the easiest 6013 I ever used to do a vertical up weld and it bites really well into the metal.

Noz-Alls are local to me & sell GeKa 6013s & 6010s I really rate, pretty sure they ship UK wide. Generally prefer 6013 but find 6010 a little happier going vertical & 6010 really can't be beat if you - for some reason - have to weld through sheep poo & mud
