QuikSteel - Am I Doing It Wrong?
Discussion
I had an oil cooler line corrode to the point that it started dripping occasionally. I wanted a temporary repair until replacement lines could be made up and sent over so i decided to try QuikSteel - http://www.kalimex.co.uk/our-products/quiksteel
T'internet reckons this stuff is the best thing since sliced bread. I followed the instructions:
What gives? Should i have put it on thicker? Heated it to cure it?
T'internet reckons this stuff is the best thing since sliced bread. I followed the instructions:
- drained the oil out the corroded section of pipe
- sanded off the worst of the corrosion, there was no bright shiny metal to rub back to though so i just rubbed until there were no loose bits
- I wiped the pipe over thoroughly with IPA
- I mixed the putty until it was all one colour and warm to the touch
- I applied it about 2-3mm thick all around the pipe and about 3 inches either side of the hole - 6 inches of this stuff. So that it could bond to non-rusted pipe.
- Left it 3 days to cure
What gives? Should i have put it on thicker? Heated it to cure it?
