Sounds very good.

Won't work on panel steel or rust if that is what you are thinking.

Its OK to fill non rusted holes in inlet manifolds to make them look better when they are painted......

sets very quickly....

Two part body filler will fill most holes or dents....
I've had great success with it many years ago....

:o!!!

so its good at filling, but not at its adhesive properties of putting 2 sheets of metal together? lOl

I can't afford a welder, thinking of doing some classic Brazing instead 😀, with an LPG torch, apparently its slow but certainly doable.

i suggest you get the car up and running then take it to some one and get it welded up.
if you don't care if it looks pretty it won't take long or cost much.

I used that sort of "liguid metal" stuff to bond a hot water pipe to the side of a twin carb manifold on an EH Holden so that it would run in a cold Melbourne winter. It worked well. I doubt if it's what you want.

I suggest that you gas weld with steel rods rather than brazing as you will get a better amd stronger job. Brazing is in effect glued to the steel, steel becomes part of it.

Don't be miserable. You have a need for a good MIG welder so get one. You will use it for ever.

Here here. Don't take shortcuts - pay someone to do it properly or do it properly yourself. If you take shortcuts it will come back and bite you twice as hard later on.

Yeah, i htink its gonna be the go, EVERYTHING is heading that way. was talking with little bro... if had a welder, i could help build him a go kart, and was thinking, with the spare engines i got, i could make an ammature rail buggy and slap one in. would be hell fun! AND I could replace the rusted floor in dad's box trailer, fix up my rust, and start using metal rather than wood, bog and glue.

go grab urself a welder, or find a friend who has one. And try to grab the best one u can afford.

If u do the job right the first time, then u dont have to keep coming back to it again and again.
dubless. 🥲

I have used quick steel, at first with much dubiousity, but was amazed at just how good it is, among things I can think of are crack in plastic baseplate of flymo mower badly cracked plastic outer tub in our $1800 Maytag washing machine (was told unrepairable), fitting a vacuum takeoff into inlet manifild on the beetle, fixed porous inlet manifold on Humber & a few other things I cant remember, always keep it in the car on trips, but would not use it to "glue" sheet metel together or anything my life depended on, the little tubes go a long way too!
Please, I need drivers side window regulator (winder mechanism) for my '54

I have seen it used to repair a broken piece of auto gearbox housing where the trans fluid pipe screws into. Basically the box was fine except the fitting leaked real bad due to a section of the flange on the case broken off. It worked. Not under any stress though, more a fluid pressure thing.
