This looks interesting (melts at 720 degrees F) so not a super high temp fix, but quick and it looked fairly strong.
Here is their webpage Any thoughts, opinions, experiences? |

A few years ago a friend and I split a $45 batch of the Alumaloy
rods. I'm not a materials guy but I'm sure if you find rods that melt at that temp somewhere else cheaper it's going to be the same stuff. The infomercial shows a bunch of weird cases that would be much more of a pain in the ass than would other solutions. If you try to patch something big like a canoe or extension ladder you will be noticably older before you could get that thing to 750F. However, it does work and is useful for small projects. I almost made a tool cart, and made up my fire extinguisher bracket pretty easily. If you are careful, you can use something hotter like propylene to make the job easier. |
