Muggy Weld
Has anyone tried using the Muggy Weld product to repair die cast metal items
and, if so, what is your opinion as to how strong the repair is? Looks like a good product to me based on the Youtube video I watched. Thanks, Peter |

Re: Muggy Weld
Peter, I did my hood ornament for my 37. The ornament had the glass in it . I wanted to take the glass out to polish. In doing so, I broke the back piece off. the "muggy " weld worked great on it. I polished the glass, and got it rechromed. turned out great.You cant even see where it was repaired. Good Luck. Bruce

How strong is the repair? ( why would one try to break something that was just fixed?) The videos tell it all.

Re: Muggy Weld
This is a brace, for a bow, part of my convertible top. It is made out of pot metal. The weld has held beautifully, and since it is part to the convertible top it get used quite often. The pictures are from 2017.

Re: Muggy Weld
I have used it to solder broken spokes on '41 Ford horn ring. It is a high stress part and most of them have broken. I gouged out the underside and soldered there. The crack is barely visible on the top, and I did not have to re-chrome. The repair has held up so far, but I have not had many panic honks.

Re: Muggy Weld
The pot metal has several small fractures where the shaft inserts. I've been very impressed
with how well JB Weld has repaired several items for me in the past so I might try doing that. |
