Lol yeah practice practice practice. I just bought some lincoln 6013 and 7018. Will give those a go. Maybe tomorrow to see how that fairs. The reason I was hesitant to drag at straight 90 was that I kept blowing holes but that must have been because I held it 1/4" away.

I hear a lot of people bashing 6013 rods. I'm sure for my application it'll be fine but what's wrong with them? Even Jody doesn't really like them as much except for beginners learning. Which is me BTW.

Thanks for the tips.
