6013 rod,and I looked it up yesterday so its fresh on my mind,is for sheet metal.
Now if you know what you are doing you can make a good looking weld downhill with it,but it is worthless in my opinion.It is possible to weld with it if you know what you are doing.Someone had a picture on here a while back of a beautiful uphill weld they did with it.But if I was going to all the trouble to weld,especially uphill,I would get some 7018 and do it right.6013 is the weakest of all the welds you can make with a rod that has flux on it in my opinion.You can weld a good looking weld with 6013 and it can crack for no reason. 6011 is the rod to use if you have a buzz box.7014 is way better than 6013.7018 is about as good as you can get to weld most stuff nowdays.I wouldnt use 6013 for anything except sheet metal and not even that if I had a MIG.
