Personally I'd cut out the rot and graft in a new piece of metal. There is also a fairly new technique involving metal spraying. http://www.metallisation.com/news/artic ... ir-pr.html

 Re: skip? fill? weld? new one?
I like the look of that. Retains more of the original part. I wonder if it can be applied at any angle?

 Re: skip? fill? weld? new one?
Willam cut, letting in new metal and MIG it in shouldn't take that long
zinc is soft and a reactive metal wonder how long it'td last before there was reaction and paint bubbling

 Re: skip? fill? weld? new one?
Thought you wanted to make a mold or you looking to go into making mild & bitter instead?
