Mark,
Thanks for your reply.
I have been working this pot metal part to the point of insanity. I managed to get a good flash copper plate, and then used the solder/flux product to try to fill the pits. Some of them required drilling to get to the bottom. I have marginal success filling them with solder. At first I used a dremmil tool to clean out the pits, then I graduated to a larger drill to create a wider pit to allow the solder to get to the bottom, but I still can't seem to get it to flow properly all the time.

Thank the Lord I started with a scrap piece. It is an older and more worn part, but is identicle to the part I want to plate.
