When I bought my motorcycle, it came with awesome aluminium side boxes. The one on the left had a small hole that the previous owner had patched with jbweld, and it looked OK. But, I've had the bike for 7 years, and dropped it a few times, and it stopped keeping water out.
So, I bought a bottle of pure Argon for my mig welder, and a spool of aluminium wire and "there, I fixed it."
