I honestly don't think they were trying to BS me. I believe they actually were clueless about filler metals in general. I had to tell THEM that it does exist, and how it is different from 4043 alloy. Just because they work in a welding supply company doesn't mean they know anything about doing the actual welding. A great portion of the car salespersons I've known didn't know which way to turn a wrench, much less FIX a car.
I finally convinced them to look it up on their own web site, and they looked like deer caught staring into headlights. They finally DID offer to put them on their regular stock order, and told me I could get them in two WEEKS. That is when I walked out the door and went back home, because I knew I could order them on-line and have them delivered to my house in two DAYS.
