Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I'm sure Martin will redirect it if it isn't. It's not even a model boat question, so I'm really taking a chance!
I'm currently rebuilding an engine to replace the one in my 1933 Austin 7. The majority of the castings (except the cylinder block) are aluminium. One has a nasty gash at one end and, although it is perfectly usable, it is also very visible. I can buy a replacement for about £70, but I'm a mean old *****, so I'm thinking about a cosmetic repair.
About 30 years ago we had something in the RAF which was, in effect, a two-part resin "metal" which looked like aluminium when it hardened. I only remember it being called "A and B", because that's what the tubes of resin/hardener were labelled.
So, my question is this. Does anyone know what this product was called? Is it still available? Or is there a modern alternative?I'm sure someone on here will have the answer.
