Metal repairs using epoxy metal and other resin based products
golfpin:
Guys , Belzona surely the king of repair type epoxies back in 1968 I as working for an Englishman who raced Ferraris profesionaly name of David Piper he bought a Ferrari motor that had been demoted to static display [you don,t find too many v12 ferrari motors lying around ] bought it as poss spares source stripped it found one cylinder block bank badly distorted. It was built up with BELZONA [made by Cieba Geige [spelling] and I presume all was happiness thereafter. Still available, not known by many and very expensive but I believe if I was stll active I would repair eroded aly cylinder heads with this product rather than weld.
My question, has anyone run two epoxy repaired surfaces as in shaft and bearing surface [golfcart this popped into my lap yesterday] min lube very low speed low load thought of using aly epoxy based stick on shaft and copper based epoxy stick {Alcolin} on the other part .,,,, any thoughts. Golfpin

I find the best source of metal filing is the chip tray under my metal band saw! Very fine and always mild steel only as I do very little with brass or copper and hard steels I keep away from the band saw too.

Ah but a bit of aluminium and perhaps an odd piece of magnesium? Very illuminating :lol:

Magnesium, never in my shop. I cut aluminium on my cold saw
