If these are boat parts like rudder hanging hardware, or chainplates,
etc... there are few parts that can't be more economicaly
manufactured either out of glass, or stuff like bonded in place
swaged wires.
i have a fiberglass hull wood deck 13 foot sail dingy, the wood of the
deck side rails and support members is rotted and or old and just
falling apart. i think the supports where ripped out of fur before,
but id like to do this correctly and have it look good and last!so im
going to tear out all the wood in the boat. would any one help out
with some ideas for replacing it. i thought about oak, but maybe this
is too heavy? and should i glass over the deck, what kinds of cloths
are there, ive been looking back through old post and there seams to be
alot of new stuff since the last time did some fiber glassing. any help
would be great
a wire feed welder will do stainless too,

Perhaps, depending on the strength required, you could anneal and bend?
It will be weaker, but maybe strong enough? I don't know anything about
annealing stainless, tho.

Plumbing solder does work, especially if you need to repair a crack
in a tank, but itis really non structural. bronze welding with oxy-
acetylene also works, but you may wish to add additional gussets, etc.
yuo dont need a fancy arc welder to weld stainless , even a cheapy
will do fine,
