    Last rods I bought were from Welding Supplies and Welding Equipment | Plasma Cutters | TIG Welder, MIG Welder, as they were the cheapest I could find for LoHy (7018 IIRC) rods.

    I usually just google for what I'm looking for, and compare. I've bought from several places in the past, with the biggest issue being knowing what you're looking for.

    Anything specific you're needing?

    Thanks for the replies.
    I intend to weld a frame out of SHS with a wall thickness of 4mm, but was told that there was a big difference in the resultant weld between good and poor rods and size selected.
    So for mild steel should I get 6013 or 7018 rods and would 3.2mm be suitable at approx. 110 amps.
