The link didn't come up, but  bronze is amenable to  oxy-acet, MIG and TIG 
welding. You can either forge out some of the original material to use as 
filler rod or search out a matching alloy for color matching. It is not 
much of a problem except that you may have to grind through the "rind" that 
surrounds some castings ( especially sand castings).         Pete F
