Weld repairing rusty steel
How large a hole in rusty steel can you weld repair? I've got a tubular steel frame that has a few rusty holes but I'm not sure if it's salvageable.

"Depends on how bad the material has rusted away. If it's only surface rust, then it shouldn't be an issue to fill in with weld"
