has any body used this, could it used be on petrol tank's or pannels ? from screw fix, check the web site or the book on page 135, liquid metal.

No but I bet RH will use it on their next car to attach the wishbone mounts.....

Hehehehe

Metal / metal epoxy bonds are often quite strong. I'd imagine a 2-pack bond will often be stronger than something in a caulking tube. After all, if it glues to blooming everything why doesn't it glue to the inside of the tube- at least with 2 pack epoxy it would once you've mixed 'em....

Oh perhaps I'm being simple

nope thats not the stuff. its in a tube


BenB - 30/1/07 at 06:41 PM

part of me says, that it can only glue to metal ...... hence is ok in a plastic tube.

but i don't believe that!

I got some of that stuff or similar, evostick, says as strong as weldiing, my ar5e

admitedly I stuck on a piece of meatl onto fibre glass and was able to pull it off, and I am not supehumanly strong.

I doubt very much that is will fare better with metal; maybe I should go and plonk it on tow boits of steel and see (it's vold now but if there are enough request, I';ll do it )

Still a sore subject then......
I'll go and hide in the corner until the all clear sounds

Heard a story of a chap who wanted to deseam his mini, so used chemical metal over the (ground down) seams, sanded and sprayed. He was apparently quite impressed with it, till he drove orf

Heard a storey about a chap who built a roll cage using chemical metal.... the scrutineer gave it three blows from a sledge hammer and it was in bits.

For a gradually increasing load it may be strong but cannot take shocks and the shear value is very limited so to be avoided. weld it !

I wouldn't trust it on a tank but it might work o.k. as a panel adhesive.

i would rather weld, just thought i would get people's opinion.
