I have a unique situation, I have an older small Fadal which had synthetic coolant in it and tackified way lube along with a broken lube line. Synthetic coolant is really good at turning Vactra into sticky goo , this coupled with a broken lube line and the coolant getting trapped under the turcite caused the rear X axis way to rust.The damage amounts to deep(maybe .012-.015)pockets etched in the way. Im in Florida , and we have giant mouses and lots of oranges, but no way grinder, as regrinding the way is the right way to fix this.
So, question, would it be possible to fill the pockets with silver solder? I could them scrape the silver flat and have a flat way again. It would seem that the silver could be done in dime size ares. Would heating the casting cause cracks or induce any stress? The rust could be etched out with citric acid and the surface to be repaired sand blasted? Suggestions , input pro or con?
I have also considered epoxy like Devcon or JB Weld, I have some reservations about it staying adhered at such a small thickness.
All and any suggestions appreciated. I know similar situations has come up before . Thanks
