if your weld keeps breaking turn ur heat up a little bit, whether ur gonna use a wire fed or a stick. the more heat the more penetration u'll get, so the stronger it is.

What we were really discussing is which is the proper rod to use in a given situation, such as overhead welding, not necessarily a weld breaking. Nate

Natespeaking of the 'proper' rod. you suggested 6013 which isnt good for anything but a downhand sheetmetal weld. it shouldnt be used on anything requiring structural integrity, such as spring hangers, link crossmembers, tube work...
my personal fav for all around is the 6011, just stick it up there and weld, rust, paint, dead deer no problemo
