Sealing welds

Post by scuba-doo »

Is there a product around that i could use to seal up one or two of my "not so good" welds. Nothing too serious, no heat loss but would look neater.

JB Weld epoxy. I have heard of people using this on engine blocks :)

I think they do one which is suitable for wet environments too - you can buy it at good hardware stores or eBay/Amazon.

Once JB weld has cured, you can drill it, tap it, sand it etc..
