Ned, when I tried to use 6011, I had an awful amount of spatter near
the welds. Any idea what cuold I do to prevent it (not counting the
antispatter spray).


If you have a DC welder, try some 6010 instead, or try your 6011 on DC
electrode positive. I've been welding a bunch of heavy 1018 cold
rolled recently using Lincoln 5P+ (6010) and any spatter I do get
falls off with a quick swipe of a cup brush.
