Hello everyone, hoping for some advice on some C-frame repair that I need to do again. First time I observed crack that was starting on c-frame, got a nephew to weld some 1/2" plate in hope to reinforce and prevent further running of crack, however, after a few jobs, seems that existing crack is creating enough stress that it broke his welds. At first glance, I was thinking maybe that we should have arc gouged a bit where welding bead is to form for better penetration, however, I'm double guessing the way we mounted plate to begin with, perhaps support differently. Any advice is greatly appreciated and if you have pictures, that would be awesome, Thanks again.
