If you just googled "How to Weld Vertical Stick" Then you just struck gold.

This page is strictly about welding vertical uphill using 7018 stick rods.

If you are serious about learning to weld vertical with Stick, I invite you to take a Free 7 day test drive at welderskills.com where you will have access to a course on stick welding using 6010, 7018, and other stick rods.

Our Stick welding course starts out with simple beads on plate with 6013 and progresses you through horizontal, vertical, and overhead stick welding.

This page is all about how to weld vertical stick videos and I hope it helped.

A great way to remember all the key factors that go into stick welding is:

CLAMS

C IS FOR CURRENT

current covers polarity, amperage, voltage, along with hot start and arc control settings. Most Stick rods are designed for DCEP but some run well on all polarities.

L IS FOR LENGTH OF ARC

Usually an arc length the same as electrode diameter works well. Arc length is pretty forgiving on flat and horizontal welds but needs to be much tighter for vertical and overhead welding 

A IS FOR ANGLE OF ELECTRODE

Fortunately, rod angle can be very forgiving provided arc length is tight enough. Welders get into all sorts of positions where textbook rod angles just cant be used.

M IS FOR MANIPULATION OF ELECTRODE

Sometimes a simple drag with no manipulation is called for but often times a slight manipulation can help bead profile.

S IS FOR SPEED OF TRAVEL

Too fast a travel speed often results in undercut

Too slow a travel speed often results in excess heat input and bead convexity
