2 simple questions about argon and filler rod

[everlastsupport]

I'm cheaper. I weld the stub to a new one to extend it ..... LOL

Did that years ago. For me, it's not worth time, electric, wear on machine, wear on consumables and gas. What type filler is this?

I don't run my filler rod down to a very small stub. I like to keep my filler rods fairly long so that I can feed it comfortably. Since I know I'll be connecting them to another rod in the future, I put them aside once they are 3 or 4 inches long and do them all at once.
