1/8" welding rod? Executive coat hanger? Mrs G's oven shelf?
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Silver steel may fit your bill. It's not stainless but is accuratley ground to diameter and thus has a very good finish which could be protected
with laquer, it also comes in 330mm lengths and is obtainable from good tool suppliers or the likes of RS Components or Axminster power tool
centre.
A word of warning, this is carbon tool steel and as such can be tempered to suit it's application, rapid quencing after welding will make it
brittle.

A couple of welding rods any good?
Knock the flux off and polish up with a bit of wet & dry.
U2U me if you want them.
