It probably isnt the correct term, but dragging a blob of weld, keeping it hot and adding rod to it til you reach the other side. I call it stretching bogies or snotting. Today I had a 20mm gap to fill tig welding, it was a tear in the SS, to make up a plate to fit to weld quickly would have taken a week, I chose snotting. I do this at about 6mm intervals until I have a continuous row or snots. I can then fill between each much easier, is there a term for this?

Welding up a f*ing gert gap, is what i call it. 
Sounds like a bit of a mess really Jas
That amount of heat must have pulled it allsorts of funny shapes 
Cut 2 plates, to go on the outside of the box and 2 triangles for the sides. Fuse it all together, then cap off the inside of the triangles with a final plate. 30 mins work

If only we had the steel stock hitch, we get asked to make the most obscure stuff, there is a floor scraper at work no one likes using, its got a SS flat blade and a 6 foot handle made out of
30mm solid round bar, weighs a ton nobodys broken it yet. We didnt have any pipe in at that time.
