Re: Stick welding small diameter pipe
For this: ye must sell your soul to NataS and delve deep into the pit of 6013 electrodes.
They will throw you a clean, pretty bead and do the project justice.

Yep. As I age, I find the eye doctor to be money well spent. My insurance coverage is money even better spent, when used properly. My (and my wife's) eye Dr. is an Opthalmologist (an MD), and is the first doctor to take a real interest in my wife's other health problems, as one of them apparently c...

Re: Need some 3/32 6013 on 1/2 in plate.
Hey 6013 is great for teaching people how to strike an arc and run a bead. That's what it's for isn't it??? It's OK for that but unlike 7014, 6013 is not a true drag rod.7014 is a better teaching tool(rod) If you hold an arc with 6013 it becomes a different critter. It IS really nice to be able to ...

Hey, Welcome, Allow me to expand a little. Reading glasses seem like a good start, but as AK said, a visit to the optometrist is essential, to work with you and find the best corrective lenses for the task, instead of just a patch up cure.
