Looking for some advice. I formed a plate to replace a rusty section of the landy's footwell but despite a fair bit of practicing on the bit I cut out when I came to glue it in it didn't go so well. I did my best to get the repair section in good contact around the whole piece but I blew a couple of holes and ended up stitching it in instead which I've never done before and it looks a right mess now, although appears to have good penetration from the other side and feels strong I think in the light of day there will probably be a few pin holes that I've missed and apparently straight lines aren't really my thing.
What should I do? Do I go back around and fill in any little holes and call it a good un or do I grind the whole lot out and start again? Using a Clarke 151en on the lowest power setting, I can't remember what the wsf setting equates to in m/s but it was getting a nice sizzle. The plate is 1.2mm I think and the footwell is mostly 1mm but part of it is laminated so double thickness. Any advice much appreciated. (Oh and the hole in the top left is a little bit extra I cut out which will need to be patched, in hindsight I should have extended the plate up another inch across the top but I didn't realise that part was rusted until after I'd cut it out)
