V-Tech VT-138 Rapid Steel Reinforeced Epoxy Putty For All Metals : 56.8gm

excellent stuff

Seemed to work OK for what we needed it for & reasonable price as well easy to use

Used this to repair a corrosion hole in an engine core plug. Saved £450 garage bill as to replace the core plug would have required the removal of the inlet manifold. After 2000+ miles since the repair all is well with no signs of leaks

While attempting to fit an easibleed radiator bleeder (they are a good item, when fitted as intended by someone with an IQ bigger than his shoe size) on an old radiator I managed, through a very special mixture of foolhardiness and extreme stupidity, to drill a 6mm hole straight through the thing.This led to a fountain of water and a quick repair involving two bits of neoprene and a wood clamp.I ordered this, it arrived the next day, I applied it before I left for work and gave it a lick of white paint when I got back again. It has held beautifully since and will continue to do so, I reckon, until the Day of Judgement - well on in the evening.This product is inexpensive and it does what it says on the tin. What more could you ask?

Found this quite difficult and messy to mix in my hand. I would try warming in a sealed bag in hot water to soften it. When I applied it, the mix started to set very quickly and went crumbly, making it very difficult to get a smooth finish.I generally applied more than needed, and then filed it to the contours I needed after it set.It takes paint well, an it is ultimately possible to to get a good result, but it was much more difficult than I had expected

Made a right mess and didn't bond the two metal surfaces together. Waste of money that went in the bin. Better of using epoxy.

Just the job

Does as described in product literature. Resistance to differing heat sources still to be verified.
