I have a VERY large CI kettle that I got that had been repurposed into a flower planter. Someone drilled a half inch hole in the bottom. I'd love to get this repaired and bring it back to life. Any advice on how to get a hole in CI repaired?
 
probably have someone with a mig welder fill it & grind it down.....functionally it should work, not sure about food safety though
 
Yeah food safety is a concern. I want to use it for big stew cooks for my closest fifty or so friends.
 
I would can think of a few ways to fix that

braze it, drill and tap it for a pipe plug or weld it with a nickel rod, the first two would be the easiest.

where are you at in Indiana?
