Don`t even try one just bin them

keep them in the house in the warm and dry if you can

Airing cupboard...

Use a vacuum sealer.
You buy the rods in a vacuum pack, then open it and subdivide the rods in small
batches of 10 - 15.
Finally you vacuum pack them again. Doing so you can always use 100% good rods, when you
need them.

Something like:

As always, I read it somewhere, and I think it is useful for the low hydrogen rods only.

the airing cupboard nowt better than a hot water cylinder

On top of my, concealed in old chimney, central heating boiler in the kitchen tinder dry in there.

Not sure drying rods out actually works that well.

I do have a portable thermostatically controlled oven for hi-lo's.

But when I dry out 6013's they never seem to be any good.

Drying out 6013. Or even warming them up just don't work. Just keep them in a house or heated office at a good warm place. I keep looking Hy near the stove and heat them before use just wrap them up in kitchen foil enough for the job before setting off. Not very swish but it works careful though as it's surprising how hot they are after a fair while.

You can buy heated rod quivers on line very reasonably too these days.

Resurrect the topic once more
I have something like 7 open rods packages , different types and diameters
I need to store them after cooking them (around 100°C ) .
I did see this tubular storage boxes in the first answer to this topic,I can't buy 10 of them so I need to make them
What happens if in addition to cooking and store them inside a tubular sealed box ,I also put in some silica gel ?
Another problem I have to re-dry some e6010
I did try to do that using an heat gun successfully
Before do that I had issues to run them also using the engine driven wich is 90dcocv
I need to know how much temperature I need to dry them without compromising the flux coating (wich is kind of flourish) but them works after being cook

/QUOTE]
I read just now that they need to be rehydrated and not dried ,so why they worked better when being cooked?

Aluminium will be fine...there could already be some Oxide in the coating...better than steel if its stainless rods.

Normally ....but there are exceptions
6010 need some moisture....do not redry
6013 also need moisture but not as much so dry at 100-150 oC
7018 need to be dry so bake at 350-450oC but if you dont need the low hydrogen 150oC is OK

After baking they can be stored in quivers set about 70 oC

To be sure.....Read the box label it should tell you....if not ask the manufacturer

E6010 is a free box , never had to buy them or to use them ,I did use only to tack togheter things or for cutting/gouging ,the flux is going bad and I want not to throw in the Trush
I read that the flux being cooked at about 150°C during the production of this rods
I will take one and try to put into the water than cook until it reaches 150°C so starting with the oven shut off until reaches the temperature
Than wait for cooling and try if this makes them better
I not a pipe welder , I'm not going to use on critical application ,just farming repairs where 7018 isn't good (filling gaps)
7018 I will cook at about 300°C and store them with silica gel to absorb the moisture in the box
I spent all the last 3 Hours searching for information about E6010 and is not a true science

Its a very true science....all science is true otherwise its magic.

The 6010 coating needs hydrogen to perform correctly....and that comes from H2O....so they can be TOO dry

Yep it needs to have around 5% H2O because cellulose is carbon and water
Water divides with the arc and hydrogen burns to dig into parent metal , oxygen and carbon forms carbon dioxide to provide a shielding gas an that cools down the puddle
About science I was talking about revive the rods using water and rebaking to dry the excessive moisture in the flux
Because all the smallest and minimal things are the most complex in the world
