Plum-Loy 1 lb

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.
