Re: [DML] What to do about hole in frame...

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxx>]

It's an interesting comment to say that the frame can't be welded. 
Wasn't it welded when it was made? It's not pixie dust holding it
together. 

I've welded my frame with an arc welder. Someone with better equipment
and more talent could do a very respectable job. Of course, the frame
epoxy will never look the same after the fix, but it could only be worse
will the rust.
