Hi,
This is a new cowl piece that I'm making for a WW2 Taylercraft L-2M.

In this photo, you can see the two weld bead directions. The discolored area is where I used Aluminum solder as a body filler.

The solder works well if I have an undercut from a weld or a surface imperfection.
I had a 1946 Fairchild 24 nose bowl, that was damaged by the customer. In areas with deep scratches, I would metal finish the best I could, then solder up the scratch. I would then metal finish the solder to the original surface.
This product is available from Kent White at TM Technologies.
