Each wheel has a patch of rust pits in the bead around the valve stem area. I am de-rusting the wheels using the electrolysis ( http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/rust/electrolytic_derusting.htm) then the Molasses process. ( http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/rust/rust_molasses.htm) I find that molasses process is not fast but does do a rather though job. My question is: Would it weaken the steel if I were to fill the rust pits using a MIG welder? I wouldn't want to cruse around on wheels that ultimately be unsafe. Any thoughts Thank Walt Williams La Verkin, UT
