Reply:I usually don't do much stick welding at the house, so I usually buy them as I need them. But lately I've been doing more and have considered finding a broken mini fridge to throw a 100w light bulb in. Rod ovens are too expensive, and hopefully this would keep my rods hot enough. It's not like I'm doing X-ray work at my house haha."If you ain't making mistakes, it means you aren't learning anything."
Reply:FarmerJoe, what if you need to repair your stock trailer?Put the rods in the kitchen stove?LOL!I keep mine in the furnace room as it is relatively dry.No need to worry about X-Ray as my wife took away my X-Ray Specs when she caught me looking at the neighbor girls!HA!HA!
