Correction Mike: it should read " Even easier is to braze the holes closed
with Bronz rod and flux this will let the metal flow like lead. You still
must sand the surface to bare metal before you braze. the results are a
permenant repair with no blisters later like lead where you miss with the
acid cleaning." then prime and paint. Sorry for the lousy spelling, the mind
went into gear way before the fingers.
