I could weld the outside of the channel but that would not look good and would almost definitely burn through the edges of the thin channel. Any bright ideas gratefully accepted, thanks.
Clean and prepare , then weld smal spot welds along edge and use a needle sander to clean up or use a grinder carefully no other way other than sticking them on with liquid metal but most fail when they have tried in past .

It’s one of those jobs horrible but much needed 😎👍
All the best

Kind regards
