While I was moving the old stove out of the building after putting
the new stove in I heard a crack as I went over about a 2"
threshhold. I hadn't meant to go over it that roughly, it was one
of those moments where things got ahead of me. This piece
forms one corner of my dearly beloved warehouse dolly. The
deck is expanded steel of a kind and it is about 2' x 4-1/2' with
a heavy caster on each corner. I got it at an auction last year for
$12.50 and it has been very handy. I am wondering if there is
any way I can reasonably repair this that will hold. The break is
clean, the main member is about 1/4" thick. The broken area is
under tension when there is a load on the dolly so I think it
would require a very strong bond if I were to try some sort of
epoxy or JB Weld type of thing. I don't know anyone around here
who welds aluminum, and I don't know if this part is weldable
anyway. Is there such a thing as a company that I could mail it
to to be welded? I have never heard of such a thing, but this
piece is light enough that it would be easy to mail. Any advice
will be much appreciated.
