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? |

It's probably the same stuff I buy at the local welding supply houses, called Aladdin 3in1. It's basically white metal (pot metal) which is a high zinc aluminum alloy. I only use it to repair white metal parts with my TIG welder. Its very difficult to use with the TIG because the zinc likes to vaporize due to the arc temperature, and the whole part can melt from heat buildup if not careful. I do it this way because I can weld some otherwise unrepairable pieces.
