I'm curious if my local area just never stocks Fleetweld 5P "red rod" or is the stuff just getting harder to find?
I saw I could order it online at IOC but I don't want 4 - 50lb containers (their minimum order).
While it has been a while since I compared 5P and 5P+, I do recall somewhere back in my mind I made a note that I liked 5P better than 5P+, but I can't remember why as that has been 20 years ago. I think I saw some 5P+ a few places, but not the regular 5P red rod.
What are the thoughts on this forum about the 2 rods, only considering Lincoln rods here.
The application is rusted materials, pipe welding, structural.
I saw some 7010 and 8010 rods from online retailers, but have never used those rods. How similar would they be to 5P and can they be used in the same applications?
Thanks!
