Stick or MIG , i have tried vert up and it dont work . The arc forces the fill out ,
Down weld forces the fill up and out , wider .. Looks like you milled it smooth on a mill ...
Penitation control is easiest with aws6011 , But 6013/7014/7024 need more current and flat .
I weld 6011 from Alloy Rods Corp at anywhere from 25 to 100 amps in 1/8" size .... 6013 needs at least 80 to 110 amps or the flux gets in the way ...
