Re: First time arc welding- what do you think?

You’re on the right track, for old rod more heat is often required, for fresh rod heat range for 1/8” 6010/6011 is usually between 85-100 amps depending on metal thickness.

Also heat tends to build sooner with stick-VS-wire so be sure to let your welds cool (some) when running multiple passes.
