Default Need help repairing rust hole in Weber grill dome

Yeah, if you have a broken window pane, buy a whole new window.


If the frame is broken, yes.


WINDOW PANE.


I have a scratch on one of the rims on my truck. According to these jokers
I need to replace the axle. I don't know if these people are willfully
ignorant,
purposefully misleading, or just plain assholes. There seems to be a great
number of individuals who fall into each of the above categories with the
main theme in this group being to not give a direct, succinct answer, and to
go off on a tangent about possibilities that are generally irrelevant to the
question at hand.

If your torch is a mixing torch, and you have the Oxygen and Mapp gas to
go with it, all you need is a steel brazing rod and a metal plate to braze
into place.

High-temp, glossy, brake-caliper paint might hold up to the temperature.
It is supposedly good up to 900 F. I can't vouch for it at all, and can't give
a recommendation, but this could be a learning experience and you could
get back to us with this, eh?

Of course, I am presuming that you know how to braze and such. If not, this
could be a little project to learn on.

An option is to take the lid to a local weld shop and have them Mig a patch
piece onto it. This might cost ten bucks, or a six pack.

Am I right in thinking that the grill is mostly functional but needs a bit of
maintenance,
and rather than spend $90+ on a new Weber you are trying to fix the trusty ol'
friend?
