Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Permatex 84333 2 oz. High Temperature Epoxy Repair Stick by Brian Krump

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Solid as a rock! Car care

I actually really like it. I repaired a BMW 740IL Transmission Cooling Control Valve that had a broken female fitting. It takes a long time to thoroughly knead this material into a beautiful golden brown color and almost feels like a dense toy when applied. And yes, you can smooth it out on your fingers with some water before the epoxy sets. I left it overnight and today the material is rock hard. If you use it on plastic like I did, be sure to take 90 grit sandpaper and scratch the surface you apply it to. I noticed it wasn't sticking when I put a little on the smooth surface of the valve. Let's see if it leaks at the operating pressure and antifreeze temperature in the engine. I'll update the review once I've assembled the car and checked for leaks.

Pros
  • Practical thing
Cons
  • Ok for the most part, but...
