I am a drafter not a welder just to let you know up front. I have a sheet metal part that I want to fill in the corners where bend relief has left holes. The trick is that when all is said and done I don't want it to look as though there were ever holes there. How have you seen this anotated on a drawing? Would this be a plug weld or a fillet weld or something else?

As a welder I would appreciate a simple note on the drawing specifying
what must be done. I can't recall ever seeing such a symbol.

Standard welding symbols are adequate for most situation. Those unique situations that are not addressed by a standard symbol should be addressed by a sketch indicating all the applicable information.
