Use for repairing small holes, rips or voids between flat, round and angled panels. The 3 by 3 Set of 100% Copper "spoons" supports your welding from behind. The spoon acts as a heat sink to prevent warpage. The special mounting design permits setting the back offset left, right, and straight. Set includes an Offset Flat Plate, 3.5" Radius Curve Plate and 90 degree angle plates with two set screws and handle. Made in USA.

I was Welding Up Holes in My 58 Cameos Cab,(about 200 to be exact,I Think the Guy who Had my Truck
before me Got a new Drill for Christmas and Used
it on the Inside of the Cab )Anyway I Took
about a 2ft section of 3/4"Copper water Pipe and
hammered the end Flat and Bent in my Vise about a couple of Inches Square,then bent the flat part at about a 45^degree angle,I Used this piece to Back Up the Holes in My Floor Board as I welded them Closed.I have made a Few Different Lengths and Buffed the Flats On My Buffing Wheel and it
made Spotting them thru the Holes Easy-er!
Just Want to make Sure you have Gloves on as it
