Hey guys.

I just finished repairing this license plate frame and though you'd like to see what can be done with pot metal. It's polished pot metal in order to see the repair actually looks prior plating. See the attached photos.

Thanks everyone. Have a wonderful day!

Looks good, would you share the process, for repairing?

I can tell you that it definitely isn't soldering or brazing. It's 100% pot metal welding. That said, I've spent years in perfecting my equipment/process and unfortunately I'm not at liberty to speak of either.
My family's livelihood depends on it.
 
Do you do this commercially? If not, you should. I had no idea something like that could be saved.

Can you do pitted pieces ready for re-chroming?

So, do you offer this as a service? If so, give us some info. You might start a new thread and show us some of your repairs; which would leave this thread as the OP started it.
 
Well, if this guy thinks this muggy-welding is such a big secret, all you guys who need a chrome plated part that is broken to be repaired and re-plated, send it to St Louis plating Co. 2918 Franklin Ave, St Louis, Missouri 63106.
