Didn't really want to spend the time in writing another program and since I work in the welding department this was faster for me.

What the owner doesn't know won't cost him anything

We do it all the time to avoid putting to much heat into the part. Run a pass of steel, flush out with CuSi, grinders blend it down, paint makes it look great.

Sort of similar if you’re familiar with fluxcore.

certain electrodes are for specific positions, some are for all positions, some are root pass (6010/6011), some are high fill (7018) etc.

youre familiar enough with welding that if you grab yourself a box of 1/8th 6010 and a few 1/4 plates you can figure it out. I was taught stick first, because ‘if you can stick weld, you can mig weld!’ according to my instructor.
