My 15 year old wood stove has a hairline crack radiating out from the upper right hand corner of the door frame. It is about 3" long and barely visible. The metal is 1/8" thick steel. I have previously welded this crack a few years ago when it was shorter. I am wondering if this will just keep happening or is there a permanent fix.
As I recall, I ground the old crack out before welding it using GMAW but that did not end up being a permanent fix.
