Default Welded Patch Repair question

No problem. Use the next size larger tubing. Run it through the bandsaw
lengthwise. Fix it over the damaged tube and weld everything back
together.

How about cutting a taper (like points on opposite sides from each other) on
the new tube to avoid creating a stress riser that would occur where the new
tube suddenly stopped, all of the way around?

I musta missed that.

Highflyer left that part out, and I wanted to make sure that was understood.
