[TheForge] Stick welding question

Thu Aug 7 12:56:00 2003

Dan,  It sounds like if you have the same welder, on the same amperage,
using the same rods,  it is a humidity problem with all the rain and humid
weather we've had lately.  If the flux is blistering off when you strike and
arc that is definitly the problem - but that's usually when it's real bad.
