evergreenkid29 14 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 One of my S12s has the dealers box that was all etched out, and I filled it in with weld but when I ground the weld all down I ended up with a few tiny small holes through out the box. My guess is the weld was not as tight as I thought or I ground out to much. I really do not want to weld it again It will be to much. Is there any other way to fill the small holes like a liquid steel or something?? I tried Loc tites version put when the heat from the heat gun hit it, it lifted right off (I was testing the filler before I baked the whole painted gun in the oven to see how it would hold up) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackKelly 4 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) JB weld? Just a thought, I haven't tried it. Edited October 25, 2011 by Jackalope Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ATD 2 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 If you try it let us know, JB weld was my plan when I convert my new one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whiskeybent308 2 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Those are likely spots with lack of fusion or lack of shielding gas if your using it. You can either just spot weld it or better yet grind it out and weld it over. Jb weld will work too I suppose. I'm just not a fan of replacing metal with anything but.
