So a buddy of mine gave me a big pot from his restaurant to repair. It has a hole in the side near the top and is Aluminum. maybe 1/16 thick. How do I go about repairing the hole?
Im new to tig and this is the second favor job I am doing the first was repairing an A/c line and that worked ok.

I don't have enough experience to answer your question, but I do have enough to ask you one more.
How big is the hole you are filling??

Do you any pics of the pot, was hole drilled or is there stress cracks around it? One thing I know is it has got to be clean and you may want to preheat to get good penatration.

If this is for food prep, maybe that is a consideration in terms of material prep and filler selection.

Why use TIG, you have a spoolgun and a mig, Tig is over rated for most jobs.
