Need to have the area really clean and dry for 7018. Don't forget that 7018 is a low hydrogen rod and should be kept hot and dry also. Nothing wrong with 6011 if you're a good welder.
I replaced the entire bottom of a friends old CB and used 6011 because the original metal couldn't be cleaned up good enough for a good weld with 7018. That was 3 years ago I believe and still going strong.

I’ve yet to find anything that with a knotted wire brush on a angle grinder and a needle scaler I couldn’t clean up enough to wire weld, 7018 isn’t quite as picky as wire.

Have i mentioned I detest stick welding?
Years and years of stitching stuff together on the farm because it wasn’t actually thick enough to lay a real bead on.
Or worse yet getting to braze stuff back together from the lack of a wire welder.
A good trick and a lost art, using a coat hanger and 100 mule team borax for some redneck oxy welding.
Course only got worse once we got a wire welder on the farm, no big deal to build a shaft up and turn it back down since I bought a lathe. However even if I had an indexing head for my bridgeport I refuse to waste my time building up a worn gear then recutting it in the bridgeport.

Update: Wood boiler leak is fixed!..Long story story short..This am (sat) I pulled the fire out of the boiler and cleaned it..I tore it all apart grates and everything..I had at least 2+ wheel barrows full of ashes that I shovled out of the boiler..Basically my wood boiler was plugged..Cleaned up the areas where id had the leaks on the door ring. Turns out I had 3 pin hole leaks...My buddy ended up welding the entire inside door ring due to what factory did and leaks..In the pic he's inside the wood boiler....Outstanding job he did..Boiler is fired back up and just keeping a eye on things to see if any weeping etc..
