I wanted to weld a very small patch onto a stainless exhaust that had grounded. One weekend I was dragged around IKEA and bought a cheapo whisk (68p I think) with stainless whisky bits. I cut these off and straightened them to use as rods. They worked perfectly despite being unknown Chinese composition. The welds haven't even discoloured to this day.
