Hello Bob,
Yes, I've used a couple of brands, and whilst they're good, I find that they
tend to "powder" after a while. Used as a "weld-through", I find that a better
weld results from scratching through to the base metal for decent contact. I
recently bought in a new brand from Amazon so I'll try that.
Regards, D

Maybe off-topic a bit,
but there is a product called 'weld-through
primer' that can be applied to pieces that
are to be welded together;
e.g. on a lap
joint. It is supposed to prevent rust; I believe it has a
very high zinc content so that it allows
weld current to flow.
