Review on Hobart H112216 R01 1 Pound Plastic Electrode by Paul Freeman

Decent quality for a thin (1/16) 6011. Worked better than the HF version. Starts normally (but not easy, at least for me). Reboots were decent. But it burns up quickly. Works well for sheet metal without blowing holes if you're not moving fast enough, giving you a little extra time to work (Used to attach 2-piece 5/8" hinged hinges to 14ga square tube posts for repairing welding metal gates) where I thought 6013 or 7014 wouldn't penetrate deep enough. If you lower the amperage (50A +/- 5A or so) it still penetrates well and also produces a nice grooved bead with not too much spatter . I had to use a low current 110v welder, it worked fine. Lincoln FW 180 3/32", from HD, was too much for my purpose.
