Well that's frustrating to say the least. I got down to the last grade of sandpaper and an abnormality in the metal showed. I went to lightly touch it and it caved. It is on the front bone half way down the leg. There was no tooling mark there or dent. It must have been an impurity in the metal. I used a copper brazing rod and sealed it. It is structurally sound, but the area of about a dime is more nickel colored instead of bronze now.

So I have an opinion question. Leave it as is or try to paint that one area with bronze modeling paint to cover it up? I don't have it in me to do this again. I was soooo careful too! Confusedhock:
