@welddotcom: This rod is built for downhill welds ESAB 9045 Austin ran it and here’s what matters: Let it heat up on restarts Keep it as perpendicular as possible Don’t carry too much metal What would you add?
Do do not start there rods in front and then push back that is totally the wrong advice, there electrodes are designed with a point in the wire and a assist agent on the tip of the flux you start them right on the button, been using them since the early 90s thank me later man

Lincoln first made them when a gas company came to them because they were doing a line through a swamp and kept having welds crack because guys were just cramming metal in there and it wasn’t getting the right heat through everything. They made these to get the bead count up because you have to run so hot and fast you can’t just cram metal in there and you make the weld area go through more heat cycles to get he HAZ to strengthen. The cracks were happening in the toes of the welds
