Repairing holes in a P51 fairing

I begin by cleaning the top and bottom surfaces, affixing a chill block, and welding up the .032" 5052 aluminum. The holes are over 1/2" in diameter.

The welds are cleaned of flux...

Then sanded, top and bottom.

The areas are then smoothed to fit to the airplane.
