Hi all,
I bought some stuff for my little petrol pressure washer pump. The key way had worn and spun alot before i bought it. (It was cheap as not working. I used some metal glue that was a liquid i poured on to shaft that stuck the shaft to the worn inside of the pump input. This lasted for 4 years but finally gave up yesterday . I cant remember the name of it. Can anyone recommend some super strong liquid metal type glue? shaft is stainless. Inside of pump input is stainless too i think. Tried epxoy araldite but it didnt work

Be genuinely surprised if your disappointed. I shift quite a lot of other Permatex stuff and nothing but positive vibes.

I've used the steel weld myself and so far so good.

Wurth Liquid Metal FE1 is also good, but it isn't liquid! it a grainy paste, but if you slightly warm the metal your putting it on then it will kinda melt in and around it.

Normally someone sells it on ebay and although i have a Wurth account its no more expensive for me on ebay!
 
Hi chaps, has anybody tried packing any of these liquid metal stuffs into taper fittings that have gone out of shape because of coming slack? Have an old tractor I'm doing up, but the steering rams have worn the tapers on the axle. I'm getting new rams, but do you think any of these liquid metals would repair the wrongness in the tapers? I was thinking of filling the worn taper holes on the axle with liquid stuff, sticking in the new ram, pulling the thing most of the way tight, then letting the stuff set before tweaking everything right up. Yay or nay?

ive done it on handlers with success, key is to make sure its clean. Plus make a washer OVERSIZED so it starts to go on the beginning of the taper, Clean, glue, washer and tighten fully, Leave to set for FULL CURE often 24hrs.

Oh and use decent glue, JB weld is crap is too soft, I wurth FE1 but some other good alternatives mentioned above too.
