I don't know if anyone here still uses oxy-fuel torches for bodywork repair but i filled in a few holes in my floorpan with some decent results. I will post some before and after pics once I am finished.
Anyone have any good tips and techniques? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif) For small holes (pinhole really) it works, great and is world class repair...use right temp...don't distort metal with the heat... use moist bastos (sp?) for heat sink...yada (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
