Gooder - yup, that's it. Not less bad, amazingly enough, but 
actually gooder.

Not possible? Not, or not, depending on the welder. Risky? Maybe 
(the chip tuning was rather intense, but ultimately uneventful). 
People regularly send irreplacible one of a kind iron castings to 
this guy from all over, and he un-breaks them like he would any 
$2.98 K-Mart piece of iron. It's what he does. Like my old Dad used 
to say, a welder can't screw up badly enough that he can't fix it 
unless he just isn't a welder in the first place.  Possible or not, 
it's what he does for a living every day. Are you aware that iron 
filler rod is available for gas welding? I wasn't, but he showed me 
a box of the stuff. The down side is, obviously, the smoking-o-the 
finish.

Education, like gold and salmonella, is where you find it. All will 
humble you if you survive them.
