Thanks for the offer Ian , I rang BOC and they have the toolcraft rods at about $40 for 20 rods .
The Arc is going to be messy though compared to TIG . I dont have TIG but would like one .
Thanks Karl . could the toolcraft rod have the flux knocked off and be used with the TIG ? Or just get the right filler rod for the TIG ?
I looked at some TIG's online . Are these two machined decent buy's ? both are on ebay .

Michael G is dead right. The name escapes me now, but Lincoln actually made an electrode that had a mild steel wire, but due to the composition of the flux, gave a stainless deposit. I would guarantee that the Toolcraft will be a similar proposition.
$40 for 20 rods is actually a lot better than I thought they may have been. Those 20 rods could repair many $$$ worth of components.
I wouldn't be too scared of using the stick welder if you are competent. I don't know what type of stick welder you would use, but a check of the OCV requirements for toolcraft would be in order as I am unsure if they are a 45V or 70V electrode if AC is used.
If you were to make the jump to a tig, just remember that you also need a cylinder of gas to go with it and that is a monthly rental proposition. Any DC stick welder will tig weld by the way, so if you have access to one of those then add a tig torch with gas valve and you are on your way.

Stellite rods would be another option..... And oxy weld it...
Light red, the colour of choice for the discerning man.
