Why not just use something like 6013?

I was dissatisfied with 6013 for inside corners on tubing frames,
probably because I'm a novice. It was very difficult to get a good
weld. I had much better luck, decent looking fillets, with 7018.
However, you need to get rid of the flux hydration to eliminate flux
flaking off and get the best performance.

For this project, I switched to 6011. It produces a much rougher
bead, more splatter, and doesn't clean up as nice as 6013 or 7018, but
appears to give lots of penetration and good welds. I'll probably
stick with it, at least until I have a way to dehydrate 7018.
