I am curious! Looking at the P.38 before and just before picture. The first one with the pitting, how do you actually go about removing the pitting so visible pits are shown. Are there cases where you have had to add metal back due to the depths of the pitting, which were removed by so sort of mechanical means, and leaving to little base metal left?

What I'm kind of getting at is have you have to some welding of some sort to restore the base metal to a proper thickness? and if so, how did the part being welded on hold up after applying that amount of heat, which would be as little as possible. But even the smallest amount of heat by welding can be a bit much for such a small part.
