Any opinions on this following idea? I am really leaning towards using some JB Weld and filling in where the tabs fit into the slots on the metal chassis/shovel. Then sanding everything so the tab and slot construction isn't visible on the outside. Also on the shovel there are gaps and hollow places that will fill up with debris and I am thinking of using JB Weld to "weld" those gaps closed. Easier to clean, and I think will look better. Now first I am going to do some research to make sure I don't go overboard, but the way it is assembled they only welded certain spots at the factory. Also I think I have some slag in a hollow on the shovel, I can hear it bouncing around in there. I am going to try to squirt some glue in there to catch it.

Any thoughts? Ideas?
