So been researching on how to fill the burn through and found some real good YT videos and got some of them to fill but some just went bigger.
Some of the welds went really good using Lincoln wire instead of the HF wire.
After grinding them down here is what I got.
So as I was in the auto parts store trying to figure out what's wrong with my truck (which is another issue), I found this stuff.
I've used something similar to it years ago but this is high temp and safe for drinking water. Figured I would go back to my plastic modeling days using modeling putty.
Doesn't look like much right now, but after being patient and sanding (just like building models), it should have a nice smooth transition and once painted, you won't be able to tell. This stuff cures as hard as steel and can actually be tapped for screws.
Side shot of the profile before sanding. Next update will be after sanding and painting with VHT high temp primer.
It's getting there.
Total cost so far:
55g = $81
30g = $44
