[TheForge] filling pits

[John Chobrda]

I would check with your powder coater to see what he uses. There are some metal
filled epoxies on the market (muffler patch etc.) but I don't know if they are
compatible with the powder coating process. The bigger problem is with your
welding set up, you should not be getting pits in your welds, sounds like
porosity.
