Re: First time arc welding- what do you think?
The 60xx wire is fine for most stuff, depends on what's handy.
Depending on your heat and size wire, "whip" the 10,11 series wire (stack of dimes..)
7018 is very common, easy to weld with, and "pretty". It's pretty much "stab and run" But generally it does take more heat to run it.
Advise, slow down. Don't be afraid to let the puddle build. Keep practicing
My welding was far better 10 yrs ago, when I did it everyday.

I'm kinda like duct tape- no real purpose, but handy to have around.
