Well now that you put a p-tex candle into it, it is going to be VERY difficult to repair correctly. The p-tex candle has a lot of oils in it. Once you rip it out to try to do a real repair you will find that the base weld will not hold. There will be a lot of liquid leaking out of your base, this is from the p-tex candle. You should really base weld it with edge grip. It is the hardest base material out there. And will 100% protect your edge.
Good luck!
