Best fix for thin base gasket surface on cases

Fast racing has .020 metal base gaskets,and tricked tig is the best option sometimes but that area is so thin I can see it becoming part of the puddle while building it up then hours of machining and grinding for a 150$ set of cases. I'd rather start over lol

Good to know. I would of assumed the tig was best if slow. That is definitely like welding on auto panels but softer metal. I've never messed with epoxy yet. Not on banshee motors at least.

I've seen aluminum filled in with a tig set to some sort of pulse setting. I'm no welder, but it seemed the heating and cooling built up and penetrated pretty well
