I need to repair a safety shield from a large "bench" grinder. The
shield is cast iron and has a crack. I want to know what is the
easiest way to repair this, with the choices being: silicon bronze,
fluxed silver brazing sticks, or TIG with 99% nickel.

Easiest is brazing with oxyacetylene. Of the choices you offer,
that'd probably be fluxed silver brazing sticks.
