Many years ago I bought some flux covered aluminium rods for use on a DC arc welder. They were bloody expensive and although I am an experienced arc welder they were not easy to use. I had to run a grinder over all my welds to make them look anywhere half decent.
I still have the old dob mount around at home on which the welding was done. Its kept hidden at the back of the shed. I shudder every time I stumble across the mount during my annual shed clean outs. When the mount was in use, old experienced club members would look at it (and my welding no doubt ), mutter something under their breath and walk away.
One day the mount will disappear at the bottom of a junk verge collection and that source of embarrassment will be out of my life once and for all.
