Hello all,

I've been asked by a friend to weld a handle onto his commercial oven. I'll be stick welding and was wondering which rods I should use?

I have completed MMA Stick welding (City & Guilds) Level 1, so I can lay down consistent beads, but I've been using 5mm steel.

I'm thinking E6013, but what thickness is recommended so I don't burn through? Suggestions on amps would be great too.

See pics for thickness and type of steel - is it stainless?

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
