Les, Sorry lumiweld not loomyweld, This is a youtube video of a simular type of rod, no sound on this one but it will give you an idea of how it works. There are better video's of this with detailed instructions, its just a bit of searching. It is very easy though, anyone can do it at home with a little practice.

Thanks Johnny...got it now....I was thinking it would be an arc welding process rather than a torch....must say, it frightens me a bit but could be useful

Heres another one. Think if i had it in the workshop i might give it a go. Must be good for something. Porosity, broken fin, gouged ally case. Maybe Norms leaky timing side awhile ago.......

Les, this is what I was thinking of:

Loctite 3475

Repair aluminium castings, cracked or worn aluminium parts and stripped aluminium threads

Shear strength (GBMS): 20 N/mmÂ²
Compressive strength: 70 N/mmÂ²

Taper: sorry for wandering off topic on your thread. Hope you manage to get your Bullet sorted.
