Re: Since you asked....Lab Metal vs. PitStop ??
Try first plating with flash copper after blasting and rust removal. Then use traditional solder paste (Caswell sells this); heat till it flows evenly. You'll have to sand off the excess and this is time consuming. Do not leave a film of solder anywhere. Leave only what is needed to fill the pits. Then flash over it 1 hour at a time, sanding between coats. After about 3 coats you can buff and nickel plate. The piece will be beautiful.
