Hi this is probably a matter of opinion, but..
I'm doing a stick welding course ( at Southampton with Davina, some on here may know her..)
I'm already handy with MIG, but it's no good for sticking cleats on to 10mm decks on a rusty barge in the wind, so Im getting some formal stick school.
Everyone seems to use 6013's for general mild steel work, + they seem to be the most widely available, so talking about 6013's at 3.2mm.
B and Q etc seem to receive a lot of criticism, being so bad they are difficult to use.
But which are the best, which receive praise from everyone who uses them?
There must be a popular favourite brand, not neccessarily the dearest, but nothing bad about them?
Do you have a favourite brand, and why?
Thanks in advance Jerry
