OK. Tips about welding with these rods.
1. Preparation is key
2. They have their place but not for something structural
3. I am rubbish at welding, these make me look good and allow an even line to be made. Sometimes, in my case - definitely not every time - so the tip is don’t ask me to do it for you
4. The rods could be used to cover over a small - up to 7mm say - hole but not to any great pressure.
5. I will use them to seal up the corners of my pannier lid - non-structural and could be made to look pretty good.
6. Powder coating goes over the top as if it were normal metal (which it is of course being an aluminium alloy)
I still have to edit the video I made but have yet to have any time to do it.
