[QUOTE="thill, post: 499823, member: 4972"] After making a corner cap, I decided to check the funny looking spots in the transom. I'm really glad I did. There were a number of corrosion holes hiding under the bubbling paint: [ATTACH type="full"]115240[/ATTACH] I circled them and pulled the welder back out. I knew it was going to be difficult, as corrosion is hard to weld. Most of them opened up 2-5x bigger than the original hole before burning back to solid metal. I stuck with it, and got them all closed up. Right then, there was a clap of thunder, and I had to quickly wrap things up and get under cover before the storm hit. I'll check the welds tomorrow and take a pic, but I made it out without getting my tools drowned or getting hit by lightning, so I call that a good day. [/QUOTE]
