Re: Stick welding— OJT begins

My understanding of things is that the 6011 has deeper penetration than 7018, but it spatters a LOT more and looks ugly. My experience is that at least the greater spatter is true, can't speak to the penetration angle. I use a needle gun on welds to get them clean of the slag. Also, in my personal ...

Re: Stick welding— OJT begins

Your welds will look better if you put on that funny looking cap. The thing with the dark tinted lens. :lol: Gene PS. I agree on grinding out a good "vee" on those lift arms. After getting it veed out, brushed off, and tacked in place, I would run one weld, then if you are not in a hurry, ...

I started this morning pulling the cabin air filter and the heater blower out of my Nissan Titan to evict the mice. Found one petrified one in the squirrel cage fan. The little bastards had even eaten a chunk out of the plastic vanes in the van. I hate mice !!!! :twisted:

Re: Growing tomatos from seed

So, I have let that garden lay idle for about 4-5 years. Gonna give it another try. We have seeds sprouting in wet paper ...
