Awl --

Some time ago, my old supply of 3/32 60xx rod ran out -- no biggie, went
out and got another 5# box.... Miller Econotig, AC/DC tig welder.

Holy ****, the rod was, imo, nearly unusable.


60xx covers a lot of territory. If you were used to running 6013 and
tried 6010 or 6011 for the first time it might explain what you're
experiencing.
