Reply:Bohler make top notch industry standard consumables, so they are probably fit for more than just stiring paint
Reply:I've never used Bohler rods, but the specs look good. I've used other brands of rutile SS rods. The slag comes off nice, but some have porosity issues. Play around with them a bit before you commit to a 'real' job with them.
