Alvin Products offers 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. 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. 

Ideal 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 425 deg F for 20 minutes.  A Hi-Temp Lab-Metal® version that withstands 1,000 deg F is also offered. Lab-Metal® Repair and Patching Compound is offered in 6-, 12-, 24-, and 48-oz. cans, 1- and 5-gallon pails, and caulking tubes. Literature and pricing are available upon request. www.alvinproducts.com
