Do the majority of your work with a bur, then just a little touch up with a disc. Save time and money.Speaking of which. if you guys want to keep your grinding discs from loading up and becoming useless on aluminum, grab yourself some wax. and hit it with the grinding disc first.  Im sure most of you guys already know that, but maybe there's one guy out there it could help.So, I did some dental work on the larger pitting spots. none of them went all the way through. So the plan A at this point looks like were welding.....Plan B involves glue and patching material.the Mig welder will be here around the new years.taking the slow boat from china apparently.Im gonna fill the holes that go all the way through the hull. then ill fill in the dental work I did on the inside.Finally Ill sand blast it and do a skim coat with G flex on the whole floor to take care of the smaller pitting.I pretty confident thats gonna work, but I do have my fall back plan just incase.In my experience having a plan B usually guarantees plan A works. No plan B almost always guarantees plan A will fail. hehehe.Ther Transom is going to get the glue and riveted patch technique after sandblasting. The fun part will be making the U channel cap with no brake. I have a plan but we will see...Thats where we stand at this point. now we wait....</blockquote>
