So awhile ago, I decided to tile my floor in most of my house. When getting started on the process I learned that the interior door jambs were steel (non structural though). Rather then try to cut the tile around them and make the tiling itself more difficult, I decided to cut the bottom of these door jambs off (about 4" on all of them) and completely removed those sections so that I could run tile under them.
Tile is done, I am now putting the house back together slowly and am at the point where I need to put the door jambs back to complete the job and have 2 options as I see it:
1. I weld them back in with a solid bead all the way around and then paint the door jambs again to make it look good.
2. I tack weld all of the corners and fill the gap with silicone, then paint it all.
Yes, I have welded before so I am confident I could do it, just unsure of the spatter amount I will get.
Which option would you choose?
