Abstract
A method for closing a plurality of holes penetrating from a first surface of a metal article through a second surface of the metal article is disclosed including applying the metal composition to the first surface along a bridging application path. The bridging application path passes over the plurality of holes between a first edge of each of the plurality of holes and a second edge of each of the plurality of holes. Applying the metal composition along the bridging application path closes the plurality of holes.
