Works when everyone else isn't working

I have 3 Ford F-350 diesels with a 7.3 IH engine. All 3 have rusty holes in the oil pan. A major design flaw common to all who work in the salt rust zone. To replace the pallet, you need to remove the motor. Big job that costs $1,800 a car. I've tried JBB Weld and many other adhesives with no success. The combination of heat, vibration and a complex foundation resulted in repeated failures, leading to increased leaks. Finally read the reviews here and decided to try this product. The instructions make it clear that careful soil preparation is necessary. Nothing sticks, even on lightly oiled steel. Careful handling is required as the product burns the skin and dazzles the eyes. Careful application under controlled temperature conditions is also required, otherwise the product will not cure properly. I followed the instructions and was conscientious. There are no more leaks. Strong as steel itself. I'm very impressed and will be thousands ahead when I finish the other two trucks. I should add that a quick cure was used on a very small area to prevent oil spillage and a heat lamp was used for 48 hours to ensure curing. Patience has its benefits.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine
