Lumiweld !!!!!!!

Went to a show a couple of weeks ago and saw someone demonstrating a similar
type of thing I had a go and it seemed to good to be true has anyone used
this stuff on landie bodywork or other stuff in general, how does it
perform.

Used it to repair the alloy hinge of one of my shop doors - and it is still
going strong a year later, but I did re-inforce it with a bit of steel
plate. It worked far better than I had expected to be frank.

I have a classic Twin Shock Trials bike. engine was rebuilt about ten years ago, and the piston crown had sunk around the exhaust port.
As a replacement was almost completely unobtainable, and the best we could do would be find and modify an alternative to fit, a mate of mine siad he'd have a go at rebuilding the crown with aluminium weld.

I 'thought' he was going to use MIG to build back up the mtala and then polish it - no, when he'd done he'd used lumiweld.

Well, I used the thing - I didn't expect much, but thought I'd give it a try, at the very worst, Id just have to lift the barrel and fit the modified alternative piston.

And, surprisingly, its still there and going strong - took a class victory on the thing last season, so it isn't exactly treated delicately.

Is this a reccomendation?

Well, I spose it means that the stuff CAN work.

Thanks for the post, sounds like quite a test for it, was quite impressed in
the demo. I saw at a show a couple of weeks ago so I might get some to give
it a try on my landy.
