Nice job Jackie

I believe that was a good choice in rod for build up too based upon the RC hardness
FYI - depending upon hardness and toughness there is also
8018, 9018, 110/18
available to closely match the parent metals
You may already be aware, just throwing it out there though
---
I've used them all
110/18 would be for AR500 plate(Dozer Blade) at the extreme end of the scale
so you could relate the various rods depending on needed properties
110 is also pretty "Watery" and difficult to weld in a 4G position
So sometimes I compromise with 9018 instead if needed

The Low Hydrogen electrodes will separate the men from the boys.

To all a good day.!

Yea, I was so dazzled by Jackie's work it took me a few minutes to figure what the hell it did.

That’s a very cool repair Jackie. I remember how poorly my first (small) stick machine would start 7018 rods.

Hahaha,

I have taught many young men to weld, When they would use 7018 and it would get stuck every time they tried to strike an arc, I would tell them, " That's Why They Call it STICK Welding" !

Hahaha,

Brings back memories.
