drying welding rod

I was gonna say the same thing.. IE.. how would you know your 6011 was welding bad... most 6011 beads I've ever seen look rough.. especailly compaired to the 'row of dimes' look you can get on 6013.. etc.

Remember that 6010/6011 DOES NOT lay a pretty, smooth bead like 6013

Aha! I was mixing up 6011 and 6013 in my mind. I can never remember which one is which since I only weld once in a while. That explains why I was having a heck of a time. Thanks for setting me straight.
