Re: welding rods
Are you using a buzz box or a DC reverse polarity machine. It makes some difference on the rods you use. Also what position are you welding in this makes a difference.
7018 is a good all purpose rod but is very prone to porosity in the weld. Use an old cake pan and heat the rod to appx.220 degrees to drive out moisture every day. On a commercial code job they have to put any unused rod in the rod oven every two hours and get another batch.
