The old mig welder has died, so got out the arc welder, been many,many years since I last used it, & I'm very rusty, struggling to weld box section 3mm wall to a convex square edge handrail.
Went with a 2.5mm 6013 ,brand unknown rod,again these must be around 20 years old,been keep dry in seal box, but they seem lacking in penetration,tried 80A-90A, also got some 3.2mm rods,probably same age, but don't want to burn holes in box section.
Think some new rods might help, what would you recommend?
