Re: Rusty Roof Best Approach?

Your gonna need your fit to be really good..if you had access to the backside ,you could back it with copper to help prevent burn thru while welding...but I'm fairly sure you dont..so you'll have to rely on having access to one side only..this also eliminates you being able to hammer and dolley your welds...
Mp&c would be whose advice I would take...whatever it is..
but if it were me I'd ad some metal strips to the roof edge to eliminate the gap...you need a good small gap for welding..and some very slow welding...magnets will help hold up the roof where its low...
