On that thickness 3/8 to 1/4 ,, 1/8 6011 would be a better choice than 3/32,,,7018 1/8 can work very well although it require more amps for the rod size over 6011,,, my point is,, go with what you are good at,,,,trying a new type of rod is always interesting,,,it has it's draw backs,,,in the case of 7018 ,,down hill welding is not reccomended..
Some of those lies people tell about me, are true
