Got two more patches in last night. I didn’t get very good penetration on of them so I’ll need to do some fill in work on some of the holes that showed up when I ground down the welds.
After some practice here I’m learning that the better your patch fits the easier it is. Where the patch is right flush with the old material you can run a great bead but if there is a gap its painful and slow work.
Going to plan on doing a better job on the rest of the patches so they fit very close to perfect.
