Hi P Porters,
A month or two back, there was discussion about various epoxies to fill
the side ports. I have trashed the emails, but now I find I would like
to get some of this Hi Temp. goo, I think it could handle about 500F .
It was not JB Weld, The website was similar to 'coltronics' but not
that. Anyone remember the name? TIA, Dave McC
just starting to look at alternate epoxies for P port and exhaust
sleeves.. I've found some devcon titanium fill that's good 350F or the
underwater epoxy that good to about the same temp.. I've also found a HT
epoxy that good to 400F from locktite in their aerospace catalouge and a
company called Alvin products that makes /supplies a 1000F product
called ' lab metal' .. the rx7 forums are a little lean on technicals
on products used other then to say ' devcon' ... looking for suggestions
on a bonding/sealing agent for the sleeves..
thanks
Ian

We have something down here called JP Weld. Available in hardware
stores everywhere. Works great if you heat it before you mix it.
Also there is an outfit called Freeman Supply I have done business
with in the past. Good outfit.

Cast-IT 2000 looks good to me.

405 F. I would fill all pertinent cavities before cutting the hole for the
tube inserts. That would solve a problem or two.

I just read Lab-Metal
<http://www.alvinproducts.com/Products/Products.asp?id=2> is available
through fastnel which is just down the road, lets hope us and Can corp
offices do the same product lines.. I think this may be my best option
for a TT P-port.

Hey Jerzy,
Are you convinced this is the way to go - did you speak to the Company and
explain the purpose ?

I made no comments on usage of the epoxy, I just corrected the address.
I think it was Jerry who suggested use of the epoxy.
I used that high temperature epoxy in my lab projects. Sorry to say, but
I was disappointed. The epoxy seems to be chemically stable at elevated
temperature but it has very little strength, it barely holds together.
However, chances are that I did something wrong.
