	One application where it seems to help to braze the parts instead 
of stick welding them is when you are working on parts that are fully 
soaked in grease or oil. Since you heat the whole part up quite hot it seems 
to cook the oil out better and it is maybe easier to spread the weld out over a
 wider surface on some parts. Old corn picker sprockets jump to mind...
 ugh! They were often porous crappy cast. Made out of old stoves and 
bath tubs I guess.    <(^¿^)>
