[QUOTE="thill, post: 495506, member: 4972"] I've used the rods, but typically use my MIG with .030 aluminum wire and a .035 tip and 100% ARGON shielding gas. DEFINITELY use a heat sink underneath. A little hand shovel works pretty good for prop repair. Stack stringer beads for big areas, or just little beans of weld for smaller chips, then touch up with a flap disk. If it's just small stuff, you can just smooth it out as mentioned above, especially with a 25 HP. Eventually get another prop, if you notice a drop in performance, and keep the current one as a spare. [/QUOTE]
