Metal filler compound prepares parts for powder coating

Paul Boughton

A single-component metal repair and patching compound that requires no mixing, applies easily, can be sanded and then powder coated and baked or simply painted is available from Alvin Products.

Lab-Metal Repair and Patching Compound is a metal filler that repairs dents and voids, smoothes weld beads, and hides cracks and other surface blemishes or imperfections on cast or stamped metal parts. Suitable for preparing parts to be powder coated, this one-component filler applies with a putty knife, air dries, can be sanded, and then sprayed and baked in a curing oven.

Providing an effective method for making cosmetic repairs prior to metal finishing, Lab-Metal Repair and Patching Compound is ready to use right out of the can and adheres to any metallic surface.

Once hardened, it can be milled, drilled, tapped, machined, sanded, coated, and baked at 218°C for 20 mins. A Hi-Temp Lab-Metal version that withstands 538°C is also offered.

Lab-Metal Repair and Patching Compound is offered in a wide range of sizes and packaging.  Literature and pricing are available upon request.
