Saving Old Seagulls

It is something similar to this?
I have had my metal inserts since 1974.

This will sort out everything except the prop chip aye. Very easy to use.

Bruce, could you check and let us know this Permatex product up to what temperature works fine?
I can't find it online.

Need a clean.... use a Coke

I thought we were having an intermission.

Hmmm....no longer available

I asked if all pages were present and correct and then, after a garbled answer, it was withdrawn? no idea why but I presume it was to sell now? bit silly really as if it was as good as it looked it should have been worth a bit more than $10 bucks

Bidding was up to $20. Maybe we should have a members only category on here. Reckon somebody negotiated directly. How rare are these?

coca cola is not bad at cleaning some things (but have you seen what it does to your insides! eekgads) that's the phosphoric acid that's in there!

i use my tried and tested method of sulphuric acid (from dead car batteries) leave the cylinder to bubble and fizz for 24 hours, rinse out and have another go with caustic soda.repeat as many times as you think is neccessary.
alternatively, if you have access to certain tools, you could try what H-A does and sandblast them. (i must look into this more as i reckon this could be the way forward with a lot of cylinder corrosion woes)

would you happen to know if this permatex is any good at being polished once it's cured. Does it have the same appearence as aluminium?
i might have to see if i can find some of this. (interesting, might work out a bit cheaper than welding on some parts i've got kicking about)

Keh?

ok i'll take things slowly.

When this stuff has gone off, does it polish up (just like normal aluminium)

sorry Hugz my brain is starting to fade out over here! (it is nearly midnight over here you know)

Bruce is the chap to talk to. Never used or seen it myself.
