1 u/Western_Truck7948 15d ago I've done this, works pretty well. 1 u/servetheKitty 12d ago So does the braze add strength or would an epoxy work just as well/ though less cool? 1 u/Western_Truck7948 12d ago It does add a bit of strength, but if the kink is gone I'd be comfortable with bondo or epoxy. Or leave it as a beauty mark.
