of course, I agree with him, just funny you brought that up.

Corsa was the one that told me they were different, hence, I didn't get one.

I didn't TIG weld until around 3 years into the class. The only chance when I flux core welded was with a piece of trash 12 year old Chicago Electric welder that took me 12 hours in the garage to rig to work (blocks of wood, tape, and some clamps! ). Yeah, with all this instruction you better have some awesome welds son!

I did bring my work home so I could snap a few picks
Tonight we did use the 7018 sticks, overlapping beads.
Compared to the 6013, the 7018 don't seem to burn off as fast, they definitely leave less slag(that was cool). They seemed a little easier to control once going, HOWEVER, Once them Sum Bitches stick! Holy ****! you've got to be fast, or you'll burn a whole electrode like I did
Between the 6013 and 7018 I'd say I like them evenly for different reasons.
