Using Master Bond Supreme industrial epoxy for Bonding, Sealing and Casting

Hello All,

Forgive me if using epoxy on a restoration is seen as the devils work - I work for a very large engine manufacturer - for Oil & Gas applications - and as such come across some interesting suppliers that could really assist us in our Stationary engine restorations....restorations that have no other option but to use an epoxy compound (pitted faces, old leaking gaskets/seals etc)

We have had a recent test run on the following epoxy with startling results - run over 1000's of hours of operation in the oilfield in russia (-40degrees ) and UAE (+45degrees)I have nothing to do with the company but must say it does exactly what it says it does and a bit more to boot - please make you own minds up!

I've been testing it in ambient temperatures of 50 degrees plus for applications involving repairing broken castings in pressurised fuel delivery components as well as machined alloy compnents in fuel delivery - again under high pressure - as well as in exhaust gas recirculation - the components performed perfectly and continue to do so after approx 8000 hrs cycle time - it would hardly be tested by the conditions one of our engines could throw at it....

It has its place in a restoration and it not for everybody but as a last resort...... and apologies if this is not new to you good people.....

The following is their discription.....

So what you are saying is we can glue up engine castings that have been damaged by frost with a glorified pritt stick?

get it right its uhu ! lol   

im a bit unsure with these chemical compounds to replace metal ....
