Default copper or pit stop for repairs?

Which would be better. These are for custom fencing swords, so they need to take some abuse. I have the plug and plate kits. Would I be better of copper plating, sanding, or using pitstop?

Thanks,
Rick

Rick.
With the plug and plate you wont be able to get the kind of coverage you need to be able to fill in pits. For this you would need to plate in a bath using flash copper then acid copper .
Your best bet would be sanding or pit stop

Can you give me an idea of the size of the pitstop tubes. 1.3 cu. in. means very little to me. Can you compare that to something else?

Thanks,
Rick
