I have a wire feed also and with 1/4 inch metal I will take my torch and heat up the metal then weld it. Get lot better penetration. Thanks for your reply and good luck. You can buy the hammered paint, really covers up imperfections and it's tough.

10-4 on the rods. I just bought some from Amazon. My rods are over 40 years old, and I dont want to play with old stuff right now. I dont have the time to screw around with it. I have two weeks to finish this build before we head out for our last campout of the year. We are going to camp at state park along the illinois river with 4 other families from our church. Should be a nice weekend. Hopefully it does not rain.
Thanks for the welding rod info.
