Guys,

How do you fix cast iron? Epoxy? Some other method? My g/f daughter ran over the xmas tree stand, and it's one of those nice vintage kind of stand.

Need some help here!

Cast iron can be welded (kind-of) - see http://www.lincolnelectric.com/knowledge/a...ironpreheat.asp

Or you can go with JB Weld (epoxy)

used to fix cast iron exhaust with brass brazing.

Pre heat it with an oxy acetylene torch and use an arc welder with nickel rod.

That's what I learned in my welding class for what it's worth.

Thanks everyone. Can I use a wirefeed welder? I have a propane torch to pre-heat. If not, I Can use JB weld.

thanks!

if the cast iron is of good quality you could make it last over x mass with migweld,
but it has to be clean and rustfree. best is to use brass and map gas. just make sure to smooth out all sharp corners ,or you burn the brass and make a crispy connection. make the ends look like this: U and not like V

Tig brazing is easy and strong on cast iron.

Just recalled a link that describes a typical repair:
