I refinished an old ink disk (cast aluminum I think) to find lots of deep holes and a bad hole from the original casting. Anyone have a suggestion on what to use to refill these holes so I can re machine it and make it workable?
Lower right is a ridge you can see it needs a bit more sanding, I used a 3/4 6 flute finishing end mill to take off about 0.010 mil. Unless I can fill the holes it's no good and the little letterpress it goes on is already sold on ebay i think for like 1600 bucks. Without the ink plate it's no good.
These get very light usage some don't even get used and are just for show.
