Very entertaining photos and story about the success that you, and your cat, are having.
People recommend 6011 because it is a "fast freeze" rod. On your job 6011 would have to be run quite differently than the 6013.
With 6011 you would have to almost "spot weld" and then let the work cool. Spot weld a bit more then cool some more. If you hold the arc too long it will certainly burn big holes through the work.
You are doing just fine with the 6013 and the progress being made is remarkable given the circumstances.

Hey, Qwerty12,
I sent you another PM. There's been an offer of a trade, that might get you into a good quality hood in exchange for some work, rather than some cash.
Have a look, and think about it.

Tough question.
If you're welding 6mm, a 3,2mm rod is good for about 100cm or so.

My bad... I mistyped.
A 3,2 on 6mm is good for about 4 inches, or 10cm, not 100.
I said "100"
Sorry.
