The color match and patches aren't perfect, but you can't see them when the bowl is set in the cart. It's strong enough to last another fifty years though.

I have some questions about the patches you did.

Was there rust underneath and did you do anything to stop further rust?

High temp JB Weld? I was thinking about Blue Magic 18003 QuikSteel High Temperature Metal Repair as it boasts a higher temperature range. Do you think I could fill gouges in the bowl and chips in the lid? It would probably require painting as well.

Did you mask off the repairs and paint?

After cooking on it, did the repairs hold up?

thanks!
