Keep the proposed work area clearly bounded and avoid treating an uncertain crack path or load-bearing concern as a cosmetic issue. If the damage extends beyond the visible local zone, pause the scope. A written boundary note can document why the repair area was limited, using a specific scope description without unsupported claims about strength or serviceability.
related localized casting repair limits guide casting repair limits should be defined before surface work turns into a larger repair. Start by mapping the visible damaged area and nearby changes in shape, finish, or material condition. Distinguish what can be observed directly from anything that would require engineering judgment, hidden-damage assessment, or structural evaluation.
