Hello again. Some of you may have been following my project kate thread. The tank is structurally finished but has a few, well thirteen, tiny holes which showed up when pressure tested.
Should I:- (Me and Brother Albert)
Apply more mig weld, dress off
Silver solder although I think the heat would warp the structure
Lead solder with iron
Fill it full of POR (other goos are available) and hope for the best
Or something else?
Cheers, Chris
