What the...?

admin

Hey guys, found a small stash of welding rods at my school. There used to be a welding shop there, but now its a weight room. Anyway, found these there and couldn't pull up anything about them on google. The paper envelope reads:MARQUETTEARC WELDING ELECTRODES FOR BETTER WELDSNo. 130 RED RODI'm confused.  Any idea what they are? They look like Carbon, but without the copper shield.Thanks for any help!

Reply:I hope so, I've been looking for some carbon arc rods, but was unsure, since these dont have the copper shell. i'll test em out tommorow-AlexSears/Craftsman 230A Buzzy BoxSears/Craftsman 180A Buzzy BoxChicago Electric 80A InverterALL STICK...ALL THE TIME!I spent a lot of time with the square peg and round hole.
