These rods start easily and make a relatively smooth bead with a good profile and very little porosity. Work great in flat, horizontal, and uphill positions. Not quite as good in overhead, but may be better after some practice with them. I preferred Liquid Air rods when I was in the business, but these are inexpensive and perfectly good for home and hobby work.
