[AT] A long shot--Wisconsin part

[ivan]

John , I used a stick welder on ac .  No not nickel , but they are for cast
iron . The weld is not shiney at all like a nickel rod would look .  I got
them at the local welding place . I think they were made by UTP ,anyhow they
dont carry them any more .
   I also have some "Forney" brand  and again they are not nickel either .
 I have heard of some guys using an ac 7018 for old cast iron but nvere
tried it .   Ivan
