What happens here

Using a TIG welder, carefully weld the blown-out section of the downpipe. Ensure a strong, continuous bead that closes any cracks or gaps. For an aluminum downpipe, TIG welding is crucial for a durable and sealed repair. The welder is seen wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) like a welding helmet and gloves.

Goal: Permanently repair the damaged section of the downpipe
