I have had limited success welding sheet metal with 3/32 (smallest I cold get at the time) 6011 rod, but have to "stitch" - hit and get off, hit and get off method. It is an odd variant of 6011 as it has a white coating instead of the usual gray or brown.. I run it on DC as it is much smoother and more controllable than AC, but I still burn some holes.
I have since located some 1/16 6011 rod made by Hobart, and sold by some Tractor Supply stores. I haven't tried that yet.
I haven't seen any 7014 or 7018 rod that small, but those would be worth a try if you can find it.
I have NEVER been able to weld ANYTHING with 6013 rod. Looks pretty good until I knock the slag off, then there is a nice gap right down the center of the joint.
YMMV
