[QUOTE="Scott Murray, post: 530671, member: 9753"] I used to work in a Nickel Smelter so this is on the small scale of what we used to do :) That bondo stuff is actually a clay blend made into a triangular plug we used similar to plug the holes :) And yep our pots and furnace developed leaks aswell dropping tonnes of moulten nickel, we also used coke and flux (quartz) in the process to remove the iron from the nickel.
