My second thought was to clean the area and apply some type heat resistant flush compound [JB Weld, exhaust manifold putty] and finish smooth.

If there is no real solution so be it, but....S&W repaired it once and I don't want to have it be an ugly duckling again.

Thanks for the constructive opinions.
