Re: How to repair pinholes in oil pan

[Scott Frost <Huck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have used a product that is carried usually in a plumbing supply 
house called Pro Poxy 20, it is a metal based paste epoxy that cures 
fully in under an hour, can be sanded, drilled, threaded, and bolts can 
be torqued into it. Have repaired oil pans, radiators, power steering 
pumps, axles,manifold bolt holes, gas tanks, and various other items  
without a single failure. Made by Hercules Chemical co., Inc.
Passaic NJ 07055
www.herchem.com
1-800-221-9330

I have tried for years to buy direct from them, they refuse to do so 
unless you are a liscensed plumber or plumbing distributor, so I still 
order mine from Standard Plumbing Supply, in Brigham City, Utah  (435) 
723-7744, just got 4 more tubes in the mail today, runs a little over 
$10 a tube.

try it, you'll like it.
