[QUOTE="Tall Tiller, post: 495212, member: 31923"] Sonny1, I'm no metalurgist, but if I had the coordination n eyesight to tig weld, my 2 little boats would have pretty little stacks of nickels all over um. I got mad respect for welders, I have seen some pretty amazing looking welds by some skilled welders. From midget/sprint car chassis/ Harley frames and the like, these guys not only weld steel, but also aluminum. There's 2 Busch beer cans at my work stacked together that are perfect no discolored graphics, no distortion's and the weld looks beautiful. So in my opinion, it's all in the metal prep and heat range. Would certainly weld, rather than going the flex seal route🏊♂️. Not saying there's not some really good sealants and epoxy's out there But...... Weld er up! As for the make, there are many more knowledgeable people on this site than me. I too am sort of a newbie. And in no way did I mean to dig on airshots earlier post. [/QUOTE]
