7018 takes longer to burn. I build boat docks for a living we only use 7018s for huge I beams or when someones tractor bucket cracks. There is no sense in using a 7018 for little stuff like this. Im not going to argue anymore the guy got his truck done and it looks great. I was just giving a tip to him maybe to help him out next time.

 

I wasn't arguing, just giving input.

 

Ya i sorry i should have worded it different.

 

I built my truck with 7018. 6011 makes WAY too big of a puddle for welding tabs etc.

 

Move faster.........

 

If you move faster you don't get good enough penetration.

7018 is perfectly fine rod to use for the type of welding required on a truck.

 

Damn ok i will listen to you next time

 

thats a big bit**, good job bro.

 

thanks man

 

By the way, I recieved the BL and it looks good. thanks
