Yep Cliff,
funny thing about filler rod developed specifically for butt welding - it has some metallurgical science behind it. Although, if you watch "World's Fastest Indian" you can see that spending enough years on a problem will succeed, eventually.
My life has been too short to develop much, so I just buy the ER70S6 for $paltry$, and happily finish the job. If the rod is too thick I just hammer it down thin and snip halfways.
I did this just fine recently on .020in steel sheet for a Blue Bird bicycle fender.
