What is a good SMAW rod for light gauge, and nice bead profile?

E7018
E6010
E6013
E7024

The correct answer is: E6013

The E6013 rod is designed for welding light gauge materials and can create a nice bead profile. While the E7018 rod is also a good all-around choice, it is not specifically designed for light gauge materials. The E6024 rod is better suited for heavier gauge materials and typically produces a coarser bead. The E6010 rod is better for deep penetration and is not recommended for thin materials as it can produce excessive burn-through.
