David, I have 2mm, 2.5mm and 3.15mm in stock as they're all freely available here. (6013)
My foray into the 3mm rod on 1.6 wall material was accidental as in I only had 3mm rods on site and was so close to finished that I refused to drive anywhere at all to get thinner ones. I was surprised at how easy it was to make good hole free welds. I do however agree that one should go down to 2.5 or 2mm. My only concern being not quite the penetration I wanted with the thin rods and bumping the current up just made holes.
The ally rods are good but you MUST get the weld area cleaner than clean. I really can't stress the prep enough.
Regards
Johan
