If you have a bunch of crap rods or good rods (Especially expensive ones) but, they have had some moisture get to them one thing you can do to attempt to save them is take take a small toaster oven out of the kitchen and toss the rods in there for about an hour at 250-300. Or if your at home toss them in the oven at the house. (While the ol lady isn't home preferably) I've brought many an old tired rod back to life doing that. I keep one of those small toaster ovens on my service truck just for that and not only because it works as a cheap hot box on a really cold day you can warm your lunch up as well.
I had a little job to do on my trailer the other day. Used my trusty old 1966 SA200 Redface and some 6010 5P+. Love those rods and listening to the old flat head with the straight pipe.
I am nothing more than a do everything myself because I want it right guy. I love to weld but only do it when I need or have to. I was so glad when you said "don't whip it" because when I heard that term it made head hurt. The way you explained it was perfect. Thanks and I look forward to learning more.... Hawk

I’m using a Hobart champion 8500 and 6010 is sticking and skipping. I never had any issues with welding before my stroke and I used to have welds that you could not tell there was a weld. I learned on 6010
Chris, found you through the Ninja. This is a wonderful thing you’re doing, we need more people like you to help the younger generations. My 20 year old son has expressed of all things a interest in pipe welding. I’m not a welder, always had a interest learning. Would it be possible to make video on setting up the welder and explaining the controls in relation to welding. Sometimes seeing is easier than reading. I have a 300 classic as well. Thank you and keep up the good work.
I've watched a lot of welding video's and dry rod's aren't talked enough about. Aluminum mig wire goes bad too , it oxidizes over time. the man at my welding supply house swears it doesn't. 😮
Didn't know that thumbnails was indication of humidity in the rod. Don't know about the Bahamas but if you are inclined for the great white north stop in.
Could you do a video on using a gouging tip I’m working with a friend of mine and I’m cutting the lips off of old front end loader buckets and weld in the new lip on and then the cutting edge
I’ve been trying to find a 6010 5p+ downhill cap and no one has one. I’m bothered because I see other guys post nice slick 6010 caps but don’t know what motion to do. Done everything from circles to, triangles, side to side , stepping it. And fish hooks and nothing.
In what I do, I don't weld every day (sometimes a week or 2 of not welding). So I started to buy my rods in 5 lb containers. I know I pay more, but how much is a bad rod going to cost you in time (fixing because of a bad rod) or cost of throwing out bad rods.
Keep those rods in an ammo box,20mm is preferable,with lots of dessicant,baked cat litter in old socks works just fine. LoHy rods get baked before use no matter how they were stored,lights a bit easier. I got 10Million things to do and 20 million things to do to keep up with it all.
How about the trusty 6011, I know it's a not a pipe rod . Man I use ton of them in the barge repair, pair with the 7024 jet weld. Now, I retired structural welder burn alot 7018 run alot different wire from 211,212,203,232,233,and even 3m. But 6011 still is simple rod .
Hey Chris I gotta question I just got me a vantage 400 trying to find the sweet spot for 7010 5/32 I know you own a vantage 300 what’s a good starting point as far as Amps go with this 7010
Good vid. I'll try the step stack method. I'm new to stick welding but not new to welding (tig, mig and flux). I have a couple of machines (EL Powertig 200 ac/dc and EL 160STH) and I'm trying out different rods. 3/32" 7018 and 6013 have worked great, but 6011 seem to be problematic (initial start OK, but hard to re-start & rods sometimes catch fire and burn up or glow red). I'm running 70 amps on 110v through an EL 160STH. Is this typical of 6011 rods? Do these problems read like they may be bad or old rods?
The 6010 welding rod offers deep penetration, strong welds, and is great for pipe welding, but requires a DC power source. The 6011 rod provides similar penetration and performance but can be used with both AC and DC power sources, making it more versatile for various welding machines and situations.
Hello Chris, was wondering about rod storage in extreme cold. I saw your ammo can video and had a question. I'm in Montana where it can stay 30 below for weeks at a time and then go to 40 above in 24 hours. I don't have a heated shop anymore and have moved everything into my truck. Freightliner FLD 120. Plenty of storage. I was thinking about pulling a vacuum on a similar can with nitrogen for long term storage. Not a lot of people to ask up here because they have heated shops. So if you've ever had the gleeful pleasure of welding up North or know anybody I could use the info. I'm from Texas but have survived this climate 15 years lol. Thanks for any help.
isn't nitrogen one of the atmospheric gasses we are trying to shield against with flux????........JMHO I would vacuum seal 1/2 pound or so and call it a day.
@@yurimodin7333I go to a butcher in Dublin Ireland to get rods vac packed. I don't do a huge amount of welding so I like to get my rods vac packed. I would like not to have to weld but I took it up because any jobs I set out specifications on welding shops ignore them telling me " that will do " when it's not what I wanted. These assholes expect to get paid despite not doing the job to specifications. I don't pay and don't accept the work. Got sick of all the arguments and took up welding myself.
Still haven't found a video explaining why 6010 is used over 6011, especially since 6011 does really well when your machine has a low open circuit voltage. Also, in another video you were kind of saying that the moisture ingress is not something to overly concern yourself with. This was that video about 7018 rods, and how it is not necessary to keep them in an oven. So basically in that video you were downplaying the need for concerning yourself with moisture content, and now in this video you are saying that you should concern yourself quite a bit about the crispness of the rods. And what is toenailing? Is that when one side of the flux refuses to get consumed by the arc? Because those horrid Forney welding rods tend to do that new out of the box.
I have no ideas on 6013 I don’t use them ever. You’re talking about two different welding rods. Moisture does not seem to bother the 7018 as much as it does for cellulose rods. 6010, 8010 and etc. And I’m not talking about being wet either. The moisture in the air will get into a 6010 and make it do all kinds of crazy stuff.
I dug and dug on the whole 6010 vs 6011 thing and I finally found the answer. While both rods act similar they are not quite the same thing. The high cellulose sodium produces much more CO2 when it burns vs the high cellulose potassium of the 6011. The higher CO2 creates an even deeper penetrating weld than a 6011. I believe the potassium is similar to what is added to 7018"AC" rods to help them run on AC. This gives a greater chance to have impurities & porosity. For most average home/farm users its not that big of a deal. However when doing code work that potassium is just an unneeded risk..........on another side note for @taylorwelding 6013 is a LOW penetration rod that is awesome for thin material. I always keep a box around for anything thinner than 1/8".....you do have to run a steeper angle to push the slag pool back behind your weld puddle.

You're right! Stepping and stacking is simple, "if" you are able to maintain rod control.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge I love to watch your videos for tips and tricks !
Love the 5P rod! Most jobs around here want a 7018 fill and cap! But if they don't mind I always run 5P all the way out! Just looks cool to me anyhow!
A good, experienced field welder can make anything work. Any rod, any machine.

With the crappy rod that Lincoln is putting out today it’s hard to find good rods, but it’s good advice. I have open new can of rods that are crap.
I know you’re right brother Lynn! And they’re getting expensive. Thank you for watching my videos and commenting!
Started out with the old red rods,, was a happy day when 5p+ hit the shelves.
So much better

I don't… they’re all different and I don’t use a digital read out. One of mine has one. I just don’t use it.
Is there a huge difference between 5P and 5P+? Just got a good deal on 50lb of 5P for learning and around the house projects.
Not for projects around the house. But there’s a big enough difference when you’re welding pipe for sure.
