Pot Metal Castings, ready for IMMEDIATE plating
This must be the Pot Metal repairer’s
dream!
Highly conductive repair material – plates
PERFECTLY!
No soldering or brazing. Repair pitted
castings cold.
Super creamy consistency, allows thin
layers to be applied with just a spatula.
Zero shrinkage on cure, no 'divots'
left on pits.
Can be plated directly with COPY CHROME™,
NICKEL, FLASH COPPER™, BRIGHT ACID COPPER, Copy Cad® ,
SILVER, GOLD, BRASS
To carry out repairs to pits, simply bead blast the
part, and clean the pits of black corrosion.
If the pits are deep or big, under-fill them with
Bondo or some other suitable car body filler. Ensure
you leave a little room for some PITSTOP™ over the top
of the filler. This two step process will economize
on the PITSTOP™ application.
Fill the deeper areas with Bondo. Allow to cure, then
sand the area lightly. This will ensure you have slightly
under-filled the holes.
Squeeze out equal quantities of PITSTOP™ and
mix thoroughly. Apply with the spatula pick supplied
in a smooth, even
layer, and allow to cure. You may need to sand down
the repair, so do it with 600 grit paper, ensuring
you do NOT cut through the PITSTOP™.
PITSTOP™ is ideal for parts that have been copper
plated, and those annoying black pits are still showing
through. Simply
clean the effected area (Light bead blast, abrade,
etc) and apply a thin layer of PITSTOP™ over
the offending area, then re-plate with copper.
