This sounds odd, as though you are trying to convince a salesman at a store to sell you the electrodes that you want. Is that the case? I searched online and sure enough, UK online suppliers sell 6013- if they bother to describe the electrode at all, that is, beyond "mild steel". Glad you were able to find some, eventually!
