<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just ran into a massed up aggrafe in =
a s and
s B. I roughed up the threads with a tap and die, and used =
JB
Weld. It has 2 ton strength and can be drilled etc. They use =
it for
engine block repairs. It is thick and easy to work with. It =
takes 14
hours to harden completely. </FONT></DIV>
