Ive located this store http://www.welding-direct-dot-com/tunel.html with
sales for 10packs of tungsten rods, each rod is 7 inches and they have
sizes up to 1/4 inch. The prices are rather high, but given it’s a 10
pack, this appears suitable for a couple people sharing an order.

List, if I remember correctly, thoriated tungsten is more than suitable
as a conductor(radiation aside) ;) for RSG production, but id like your
opinions just so I don’t spend a lot of money on something that wont
work correctly.

Thanks list:

After firing up the old SRSG with a pig for the first time, it quickly
became apparent that 1/8 inch tungsten electrodes just weren't going to
get it, so I'm now trying to locate a source of ¼ inch tungsten rod.
McMaster has some tungsten/carbide rod listed but I don't know how
suitable this would be compared to pure tungsten.  Any thoughts or
suggestions for sources and materials would be appreciated.
