Reply:Originally Posted by BoostinjdmI'm pretty sure these bottles do not get repaired under any circumstances.That said...  I'd kinda like to see it veed out and tiged without any super special, top secret procedure.  Then hydro'd to failure.  I want to see if the weld or another spot on the bottle would give first.  Disposed of afterwards of course.
Reply:Originally Posted by MinnesotaDaveI like this ideaI've repaired worse blow outs in a boiler. They held. Proper wps, proper execution of wps and use of proper materials all good.  But in no way would this ever be reused. To cheap to replace, not so with a boiler.
