Hi Garry
The welding rod (3/32 x 7") with a little bit of red paint on one end is what ever it is.... (you can write what I know about welding inside a matchbook and have room over for the Oxford Dictionary). A buddy of mine came up with two of them when I asked him where to find such a thing, he claimed to have scored them free from the fellow behind the counter at the welding gas supplier he works next-door to. I didn't ask any further questions.....what ever it is, it was damned hard :big:
