EDC the only rods I've use have been nails or just a piece of steel rod. Coat hangers on exhaust back when I was a teen or in my 20s.Gotta have filler. You got any reccomends on the type rod?
Go to a welding supple store an buy some 3/2 or1/8 70 s wire ,then bevel half weld it then turn it over an bevel the other half to you have no more crack showing then weld it .Grind or file it up and you should be good to go.
 
Remember an Austin Healy Sprite with a cut open tomato juice can wired in place over a hole in the muffler. No it did not last long.
For a ' lasting' repair like that you need a couple of long gear clamps! Old days were fun huh?
 
I took an insurance auto repair class once that had a welding portion. Long story short they passed me and I promised NEVER to weld again. I have sorta cheated though, discoverd JBWELD lol. Sould have taken that in High School for sure.
 
I thought the tig/mig was for rather thin stock, so oxy Acetylene I guess. I'd set the thing up for a tight fit on top- the visible area and the weld material mostly on the bottom.

You might get a local weldor to do it for a few bucks if you get everything set up correctly.
