Re: welding turbo

you might want to heat the cast with a torch and then weld it, jit'll help you get good penetration

Re: welding turbo

make sure you use Ni-rod (high Nickel content) for cast iron, heat it up to >300F beforehand, weld it in stitches, and beat it with a hammer as it cools. Cool it slowly (eg in the oven)
