Well I just finished my welding table, and I was making a few practice beads on a piece of scrap sitting on it. I was using a lincoln 7018 ac 1/8. I got it stuck, and went to free it like I have hundreds of times, and in the process of that, every single piece of flux on the rod fell off. The fulx often seems to fall off the rods very easily, the last few inches are normally unuseable due to the fulx falling off while welding. I am glad I just got 10# of them. Next time I get 7018 rods, I will get either blueshield or esab atom arc. Never buying lincoln 7018 rods of any time ever again. :smiley_aafz::thumbdown:
