Philco 49-901 restoration
#3

I cut out a small piece of mesh, placed it over the hole inside the cabinet and held it in place with tape. Then mixed up a batch of JB Weld and applied a thin layer inside and out. I figure it's better to go in several thin layers than one thick.

Here it is after the second layer has set up. I need to be careful as this stuff takes a few hours to set up and gravity will cause it to run. It will take some filing, sanding and luck to get all the curves right.
