| Here's
a great new way to carry out repairs to pits in your
castings.
Plum-Loy is made from a fine dust of solder,
mixed with tinning flux and cleaning agents. It can
be painted onto a surface with a small brush.
As soon as the tip of a torch flame touches
the thin layer of Plum-Loy, it melts, 'tinning' the
surface. This uses much less heat than required to melt
a stick or wire solder, making it ideal to repair onto
thin plated surfaces.
Dents in the surface? Simply apply Plum-Loy
to the area, melt it, then apply regular stick solder
to 'puddle in' the area, just like the old fashioned
way of lead filling.
Deep pits? Paint over a layer of Plum-Loy,
heat to melt, then apply more to fill the hole.
Plum-Loy is ideal for painting over those
areas with small pits or scratches. It will bond to
steel, copper, brass, bronze, and nickel. It can ONLY
be plated with copper plate. Ideally, you should try
to sandwich the Plum-Loy between two layers of copper
plate.
To finish:- Sand or file down the area,
then apply a copper plate to cover. Buff the plate and
finish with nickel and or chrome.
