One of my fenders has a lot of pin holes in it and I know I can weld them in (usually I take a piece if copper behind the hole as a backing) but it takes a long time. Is there a easier way of doing this? Also the metal I think is 16 gauge which burns through pretty easy, then I have to fix the burn throughs.

Just a thought. I've used silicon bronze in certain tig applications to reduce warpage of stainless steel. Maybe that would work. Since the melting range for mild steel is around 2700 degrees F and the silicon bronze melts at around 1866 degrees F.

I wish I had a tig welder but I do not, I just have a mig welder. Maybe when my kids move out I can get a tig welder.

Something i've seen before that might work. It's called Super Alloy. You melt the rod with a torch. Here is the link.

Thanks 4x4

I just finished welding cab corners and have pin holes..I was looking for something like this to seal up the holes before adding a thin layer of filler..

I'll watch the video tonight..

Your welcome.

I like the blue paste they put a piece of metal and the girls hand is less than an inch away from a cherry red end of metal. Reduces heat.

I'll let you know how it works out..I just purchased the alloy 1 starter kit. I plan to add a layer of this over the seam I just welded to fill any voids.

I do not have a cutting torch, you think a high heat bernz-o-matic would work?

The site says propane or map gas is fine. You only need to get to 350 degrees.

Slickriffs let us know how it works out.
