6010 is not an option as he only has an AC machine. As far as 6011 being better than a 6010, I would beg to differ. 6010 is used for X-ray quality welds on pressure piping and cross country pipelines. 6011 has less penetration and was created to provide a 6010 type of weld with an AC machine. 6011 do weld slightly smoother than 6010 although 5P+ Lincoln welds pretty smooth. 6011 use less amps for the same size than other rods. A 1/8 6011 burns about the same as 3/32 7018. To get a rough heat setting you should be able to push the rod into a flat plate (scrap) without the arc snuffing out. You're not trying to weld so if it looks ugly, it doesn't matter. If you use 7018AC, get some 3/32. They will be easier to weld vertical up. Just keep weaving it side to side with slight pauses at the outer edges. Dave
