Now then all, been asked to weld up a groove worn into a cast iron gear/cam off an old engine. Guy provided the mma rods, cannot keep them arc'do up for the life of me. When it will deposit anything it's a minging grey blob. Knocked the flux off a rod and fired up the tig. First issue is the casting is hellish porous, opens up like an aero bar when you strike up, form a weldpool and it just will not run, dab of rod and it just sits there , won't even drag with the rod.
Any ideas?
