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? |

I bought a similar product at Northern tools. I attempted to repair an aluminum front shroud on my 1954 Austin Healey 100-4.
I tried propane and map gas. I couldn't get it hot enough to get a good bond. I have gas welded everything an consider myself proficient. Bottled gas is not hot enough for the base metal. Atleast .060 material anyway. I tried some diamond plate I have and was able to join two pieces with map gas. Good luck. |
