I had a job that required something the production rods couldn't do. So I read up on the Mud rod and bit off the bullet and bought 10 pounds. Yes it is expensive but after burning the first rod I was impressed. I had a broken weld that had been repaired several times. It was in a wet and dirty environment that required a lot of preparation and maybe it would hold or not. This rod was easy to run and you could watch the puddle so well it was like a dream. The impurities just moved out of the way and bonded. It's soft enough it can be ground and hard end flexible without cracking. It's is a impressive inovation.

I love these rods. They work as advertised and really get the job done faster than you would think. Now I just hope they come out with a 1/4" someday.
