In Reply to: Welding holes shut posted by super99 on December 18, 2020 at 04:19:05:
I ain't much of a welder and I just woke up, so forgive if I don't make sense. I have to wonder why you are closing the hole, unless you plan to re-drill through that spot? Wouldn't welding the hole closed make said hole much harder steel than the plate? How would that affect re-drilling? If filled with weld, would there be a likelihood that the hole would be brittle and fail prematurely?

Once it was ground flush, there should be enough penetration that the weld would extend below the surface, right? ....Or should I go back to bed?
