Title: Chemical Metal
Post by: Cunning Plan on May 24, 2015, 09:59:04 am

Does anyone know much about Chemical Metal? ???

I have read good things about it. People claim to have made temporary repairs of parts which are subject to high stress, however, the repair is so good, they have left it as a permanent repair.

There are small holes or gaps which annoy me from previous repairs, but I do not think it is worth grinding the area apart to get a decent weld or material in there. Two examples attached, one Pea-sized on the roof corner and another on the Outrigger / Jacking-point where it meets the chassis.

Would Chemical Metal be a good solution to use here, or should I just paste it over with Seam-Sealant, which, seems to be what most people do.  :rasp:

Yeah, chemical metal will fill that no problem.  It's good stuff . . . I've patched fuel tanks with it, emergency repairs on dripping mains water pipes, all manner of stuff.  I wouldn't use it structurally (ie. to bond something together) but have used it as a "filler" material with no issues like you describe.
