dude you are smart I always learn something from watching your videos.
maybe not the one where the two trucks are pulling on each other.

hate 6013 no matter how good of a welder you are you will always run into them bloody worm holes

Also, check out “arc welding part 1″ (there’s part 1 thru 10) here on YouTube. You’ll see master welder Steve Bliel. He goes into extreme detail about every popular welding rod. Then his videos show how to use each rod in every position. Weldingtipsandtricks guy “Jody” says its the best welding demo series out there. However, it’s just not as cool and down to earth as ChuckE2009!! Just another resources I wanted to throw out

Yeah, it can be a really frustrating rod for sure… I personally never run it, I havent touched the stuff since Travis’s bushhog in like May lol, but a lot of people burn it by the pound. Thin 6010/6011 gives more penetration and better control on thinner metal (16 ga-1/8″ and 3/32″ 7018 works well from 1/8″ to 3/16 material, but some love their 6013. Hopefully, if you do these two things a lot of the worm holes will take care of themselves

@cody17ism

Mig uses gas (a lot of the time carbon dioxide and argon) to shield the weld, and not flux/slag like stick welding does, so no. Although it could be an issue with flux-core wire

6013 is too easy, i use 7018 cuz its more challenging

a 6013 is a whipping rod, and you dont start that far back on a weld, if anything you start in front of it and pull back into it with a j hook. and then take off. like i said its a whipping rod like the 6010. it will come to ya sooner than later

I like those bigger rods like 7024 and 6024(If I remember the numbers right), They make a nice weld. Took me a while to get the hand of 6013 lol
