Most countries don't have a problem using 6013s because their formula is different these days. Most countries also build bridges with those electrodes.
I believe that 6013s are hybrid these days. They may not be straight rutile rods. Straight rutile doesn't actually penetrate. If your 6013 smells like a 6010 and penetrates differently, than the flux might be hybrid or diverse.
Never heard of Golden bridge and just started seeing the Forney brand since I been watching TH-cam videos the golden bridge looked more like a braze then a weld to me but nice comparison I did see Blue Devil rods was pretty inexpensive for a 5 pound box but haven't had a chance to try those or 2 out of 3 here noce comparison
Hey guy, that golden bridge is an E6020 iron oxide coating electrode, NOT E6013 as marked. . E6020 became E6027 here in the states they added iron powder to it in 1950's {JETWELD} THE old 6020's are marketed as deep penetrationwelding and cutting electrode. That rod is marked incorrectly IMHO.
i got a good deal on hobart 6013. the lower amp required will come in handy because i don't have a fancy welder

Those hobart 6013 are made by selectrode and the tensile rating is way up there, and to me they act like a hybrid cross between a 6011 and 6013

Rutile-Cellulose?
