[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 476461, member: 15636"] I too have never seen any of the DIY tin brazing or welding rods work. I’d use West Systems G-Flex 650 flexible epoxy; the kit is ~$22 and there’s PDFs and pictures I’ve posted on here about using it and latching large holes. There are a few PDFs posted, but the one about ‘holes‘ is 1/2-way down the page: https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=40954&hilit=650+west+pdf [ATTACH type="full" alt="7240E7CC-B9EE-4ACD-BFD2-A68413354B98.jpeg"]106664._xfImport[/ATTACH] Prep will be key! Remove all silicones and note it can actually harm tin. I’d wash/scrub the area well w/ vinegar and a copper scrubbie to acid etch it, then dry thoroughly and apply the 650 w/ heat per West’s instructions. [/QUOTE]
