Aluminum repair

[Loren L.]

Are there ANY magical "rods" or materials that actually work for repairing items like aluminum valve covers? You know, the ones that claim "hold this material over a burning house match and it will drip onto the cover and spell out 'Corvette' (use 2 matches for more than 'low script').
Thanks.

Use of their products does require some technique, but they work well. If you don't do this type of repair very often, though, you're better off to let a professional do it. Jerry MacNeish is EXPERT at aluminum repair and restoration.
