Eutectic Castolin (sp) is a large manufacturer of high quality welding rods. They probably make many of the ones sold under welder company names.


This brings up a real good welding tip. Welding rods tend to absorb moisture in their coating. This is very bad for a welding rod. It is very important to keep your welding rods clean, dry and fresh. I have stored rods on my furnace in the basement to keep them dry. Don't buy large quantities if you aren't going to use them in a short time. Buy a moisture proof container to keep your welding rods in.
