Stainless stick welding is quickly falling out of favor these days due to the Hex-Chrome issues. I'm sure plenty of it is still happening here and there but in industrial applications it's frowned upon unless you have good ventilation. Maybe in a fab shop environment where you can pull a trunk up to the weld but in the field that's pretty had to do even with smoke eaters. Besides. Most guys would rather TIG anyway.

I always wanted to get into the fab shop, but was stuck outside in the heat, cutting and welding casing, spiders, elevators, racks, flooring, etc.. (oilfield).
Ever been so good at your job they don't advance you?
